Hello everyone!
I have a Welsummer hen who has an enlarged wattle. I only noticed it about a week ago and when I checked up on her again yesterday it was much larger. She doesn't look or sound sick, she doesn't sneeze and she does normal chicken things. I felt her crop; it was full and healthy, but she shakes her head occasionally and scratches the swollen wattle a lot. The other chickens in her coop are completely healthy and lay eggs, I don't know if she does. I also noticed that she has diarrhea. I'm thinking that a spider bit her.
What do you guys think she has?
