I have a 2 year old Buff and she started with a black spot on her lower beak for several months , not growing or anything. I kept an eye on it and thought mabye she just injured herself .
Well we went on vacation for a week and had my neighbors watching them, and they didn't notice.
But when I went out to check on them the whole side of her face was completely swollen, I don't have a chicken vet locally and I have been searching the internet for what this could be. It's only on the one side and swelling is so bad I'm worried she is just suffering with an inevitable fate.
I have tried to give her some things, Nutridrench first off because she not has slowed down eating and yesterday she didn't want to come out of the pen. And I have given her somme terramicyn. When I have her on that she seems to be out with other.
I haven't noticed anything anywhere else or on any of my other hens, so I'm hoping it's not contagious bc I hate to take her out of her comfort.
She free ranges most of the day (Usually) so I have no clue. Was thinking mabye a canker but it all just looks rotten. I'm just sick my poor sweet girl it like this.
(The dark red on her , is not blood, it's the Nutridrench I couldn't wipe off)
