Weird mouth on hen.

[redblackfan]

OP, can you do us a favor and repost that picture, but this time circle where the bulge is? I'm having a hard time seeing what you are talking about too

It wasn't like that a few days ago. No way its wattles cause it doesn't even have. A comb.

I am not an expert in speckled sussex but I thought the hens also get wattles. Do you have any other speckled sussex to compare her to?
How old is she?
I'm doing some googling right now to see what I can find.

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?

No feathers under there. It probably grew in like two days but I thought nothing of it. This is way back when she was small but this is her. Its the only picture I have.

I google bulge under head and nothing really comes up.

Probably 8-9 months. Its not a speckled sussex. I have one and they look nothing alike. Plus she hasn't landed eggs yet.

What breed is she?

What breed is she?

Not sure, it was from a bunch of chickens all living together. Might be some kind of Asian breed. Green legs. Fights with new chickens.

I'm still working on learning my different breeds. I only have Easter Eggers so I am learning. I thought she looked similar to this speckled sussex from a website and she also has that same chin... I'm still learning

Hopefully someone else has an idea.
But she looks okay and if she is eating and drinking, I don't see a problem.
Hope you get answers.
