I have one hen whose face looks different than the others. All are Black Australorp. She is 2 years old. I don't know how else to explain except her face looks puffy and maybe she has feathers growing on more of her face than the others. Thought?
Close ups are of hen being held, the other is of one of my other girls that looks normal.

Check her over for lice/mites and inside her ears for any infection. Look inside the beak for any canker.

Her face does look a little puffy, could be irritation from the feather growth if you don't find any other cause.

How is she acting?
