Hi there! I recently discovered one of our hens has a swollen wattle, or to be more specific the location in between her wattles. It wasn’t like this in the morning. She is acting normal and it doesn’t seem to impact her breathing. She’s not fiddling with it and it doesn’t feel like it’s full of fluid, just swollen tissue. My guess is she got bit or stung by a bug, but it’s not hot. Any help on identifying what caused this? And any remedies would be appreciated. We thought about giving her Benadryl, but I wanted to ask on here about if chickens can even have Benadryl and if so, what dosage.
Two pictures of it swollen and one is how she looks normally:
