At your suggestion, I took a whiff! No smell whatsoever. So that's hopefully good? Also as a newly minted chicken lady... I have no idea how I would get a good look at her throat. Do I sort of squeeze her mouth open? Show me your expert chicken ways!
Thank you for this -- I just did a thorough deep dive on MG and did find some pics that looked similar. I hope she doesn't have it, it sounds like it could get a lot worse! The lady at the feed store said she didn't think Tylosin was legal in NY, but I think she's wrong... but I found it on Jedds.com like you said. Thank you for sharing!!
Also I hope you're right and it's just an insect sting!
My baby girl had the same thing happen to her. Her face was swollen just like this. I was worried at first but then decided to let it heal by itself. The swelling eventually went away on its own and she is never better! Probably just a sting from a darn little bug lol. I hope your baby girl is feeling better!!
Thank you so much for saying this!! I was really worried last night when I discovered it (obviously, with my late-night posting) -- just want her and everyone in my little flock of five to be okay. I'm heartened that your baby girl's swelling went away, I hope this is our story, too. In the meantime, I will try to stop clucking like a nervous maternal hen!

Thank YOU for reaching out! Vitamin A is a great idea -- I've just had them all on the probiotics and electrolytes from the little blue packets. Thanks for sending the link to the Rooster Booster, too!
