Maybe someone picked on hen and it got swollen

Is it swollen? Maybe it got stung by a bee if they are still out where you live

I’m not sure but it looks rough I shot some sugar water down it’s throat I’m sure it can’t eat or drank it can’t close it mouth at all

I guess it could have been a bee maybe I’m at a loss for what to do

If you think it got stung by a bee you could try making a paste of baking soda and water and putting it on the cheek. It may even help with swelling if it isn't a bee. Couldn't hurt either way

Ok going to do that now i will try to get a better picture then too it’s crazy looking it’s so swollen it’s beak is cocked over the side

Poor baby! It looks like she may have an infection of some kind. @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @azygous @HeatherKellyB @ChickenCanoe
