Weird mouth on hen.

[redblackfan]

Has anyone see this before? It just formed overnight. I felt it and its kind of mushy. She eats and drinks fine so far. Not sure what breed she is but she did not look like this before and looked like normal chicken.

I think I am missing something. What do you see that has formed overnight?

 

[redblackfan]

The hen has a huge bulge at the bottom of her head. It probably took two or three days to form but I just noticed it.

I'm not the OP but I think OP is talking about the speckled sussex, below it's beak, it looks like that part is hanging down more than what OP says it was... but I could be looking at the wrong spot.

If you are right, I see nothing wrong, but I'm no expert. The best of us have a double chin!

Is she growing wattles? Is that what op is asking?

That is why I questioned what the inside of her mouth looks like but OP says it is normal.
Yet the chin came in over night.
I'm stumped if something is wrong.

Did she originally have feathers on her chin that maybe were pecked off and this is why it look different?
