swollen wing on chicken

[laura29532]

My 5 month old red sexlink has a huge bunch on her right wing. I noticed that last night she was holding her wing down, walking okay just favoring that wing.
I picked her up and found a big bunch on her wing. there doesn't seem to be any cuts etc. just a swollen bunch. could it be a snake bite.? we have got a bunch of
snakes around lately due to logging in the area. I noticed a lot of black with tiny blue lines, and a few water moccasins. only hen out of 50 that shows signs of a problem. they are free range and have the whole barn at night.

Can you post some photos?

What is a huge "bunch" on the wing? Do you mean lump? Any oozing, scabbing....?

she just wont sit still to do photos but its just a lump, swollen, no cuts, bruises of any kind just a swollen lump. I thought maybe she got bit by a snake but no marks.Its day two and swelling has not gone down. she just hangs her wing down. shes also eating and drinking fine.

Is it on top of her wing or underneath?

Hard to know what it is or if it's something you should try to treat or just monitor very closely.
It's good that she's eating/drinking.
