Hi, I have a rooster who I got from a friend last summer. I just noticed this today, but half of his face is swollen, the other half is completely fine. He’s the only chicken with swelling and I have no clue on what to do or how to help him.

The first photo is the non-swollen side and the other photos are the swollen side.

Have you added any new birds to the flock in the last few weeks? It could be swelling from a sinus infection and conjunctivitis from a respiratory disease, such as MG. But a peck or sting might be a possibility. Watch for any bubbles or crusty drainage from the eye, nasal drainage, crackles while breathing, or gasping.
