Swollen face? Stuffy nose? I need help!

Thank you for responding! I’m hoping I don’t have to switch food cause I just found a good food. But If nothing works I will definitely have to get something different.

It is a problem if she is allergic, especially if the food is working. But you can probably find a brand like that that she isn't allergic to.

Thank you I will do that tonight! What are lesions and canker?

Lesions or canker in the beak would look like chunky white or yellowish pasty material in the beak, often there's an odor.

Thank you I will definitely have to look into getting something else her health is important!

Hold her to you, pull down on her wattles and open her beak.

Oh no!!!! What should I do???? She is my pet for sure! She acts fine and healthy preens, drinks, eats, cuddles, runs around, and seems happy so you think the almond shaped eye is a sign of MG? She’s had this almond eye since last year if I am remembering correctly. She doesn’t have discharge so what should I do???

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is a common respiratory disease in backyard chickens. The almond shaped eye can be a common finding, and some chickens may have a sunken eye appearance. There may or may not be bubbles, foam, or white material in the eye. See below:

Do you think Jessie looks like that in her pictures?

Ok here is a better pic of Jessie does she look swollen to you?

Could be a little swollen.
If she's eating/drinking and acting normal, then I'd just monitor her.
