Red swollen earlobe

[mom3]

What can I do?

Can anyone tell me if I need to treat this??

Have you looked into the ear canal for any drainage or gunk? Could she have been pecked or bitten/stung? Are there any marks on it?

 

[mom3]

Nothing. It’s just swollen and red.

If the ear canal is clear, it may just be from a peck or bump. Let us know if the swelling goes down or if there are any signs of a respiratory infection.

Ok thanks.
We were guessing it’s from a peck from another chicken.
