Hi everyone my bantam hen has been hiding and 2 hours later I was about to give her coconut oil because I noticed her crop a bit hard but I didn't give her because I notice she have swollen and a bit hot wattle and from time to time (not too often) she open her mouth and makes like it has something in her mouth, sadly recently I've seen bees and wasps, maybe she had been stinged, she is not too bad because she is resisting when I grab her but I want to know if I can give her something because I'm afraid the swollen can get bigger until she cant' breathe, please help me, thank you!
PS: she lay an egg today and eat a bit of yogurt, didn't want water, she is pooping normal too. Sorry for no posting picture, sadly my phone is dead.
 
I can't see something like that, but it's night already if it is very little it will be hard to note for me and his beak color is light, she is resting right now with their flockmates, I think the swollen has increased a little but she is still breathing and does not look worse than before, she was foraging before going to bed.

I looked on the internet to see if I could find anything, all I found was this, not that google is always reliable though. Hope she recovers soon! IMG_2929.jpeg
 
The reason I ask about white/yellow lesions is because there is something called canker that can cause swelling. If you can get a good look inside her beak at some point it would be really helpful. I know it’s hard to look in there lol they don’t like it.

Thank you, I'm hoping it's not that, it will be terrible, I have little chicks that share the same area, but I now it could be still a possibility because many wild birds come here.
In case it is only a stung, is there something I can make to help her cure faster?

She definitely does not like at all to be touched, I'll try to look, I've seen pictures of that before
