Swollen Face

[Certified Chicken Lover]

I went to check on my chickens yesterday to find my 3 year old hen (I'm not sure what breed she is) with a swollen face, but no other symptoms. She seems to be acting fine, but her face seems like it is full of fluids. I don't think its a bee sting because its swollen on both sides of her face, and there is no stink mark as far as I'm aware of. I'm not sure what it could be. You can't really tell in the pictures but its pretty puffy.

Does the swelling seem recent? Do you see any watery or bubbly eyes, nasal drainage, gasping, or rattly breathing?

Yes I just noticed it two days ago, no watery or bubly eyes, nasal drainage, gasping, rattly breathing etc. everything else seems normal except her swollen face.

I would keep an eye on her, and make sure that she is eating and drinking. It may just be the way she looks. Note if she gets any other symptoms.
