Silkie Hen with swollen comb

[annierose]

Hey!
today I’ve seen that my silkie hen has a swollen comb, she’s acting normal - eating and drinking. Everyone appears normal.

it’s winter here in Melbourne, been cold but they got a warm house that they use.

Let me know your thoughts.
going to put a round of pestcene powder in the coop.

Did the silkie injure the comb? Also, how old is the silkie

I think she is about 28 weeks old, unsure if she has injured it. I sent a photo to the breeder and he said it was normal ...
