About 3 days ago I noticed that my turkey hen's snood started to look swollen around the base and today the whole snood is swollen and is almost hard feeling. Has anyone had this happen before and how do you solve it?

The part of her beak that comes out like that has been there since she was only a baby, so she might of been born with it. Also the dark part on the end is more like a bruise because its under the skin. I think it may have been a bug bite because her snood was fine until yesterday, but started as a bump at the base of the snood.
Its still about the same. But I did notice that in the spot where the swelling started, that there is a tiny scab in the middle of the bump which looks like a mosquito bite. I also punctured the snood a little to see if it was dead, but blood still came out so it isn't dead.How's the swollen base doing? Still the same, worse, or better?
Best wishes.
