Surfnirvana Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Polly my 18 month old White Star was feeling a little low last week, wasn't eating much and rather lethargic, but after feeding her some bokashi bran, yoghurt and garlic, she has really perked up & back to normal. However, I've noticed that since last week, she has also had a swollen right wattle under her beak. There is no other swelling around the eye or head. No obvious bite marks or cuts - it's just very swollen. She is back to her normal self apart from not laying and this wattle problem. Any ideas? Has anyone else had this problem with their chooks? I was hoping it would go down, but it has just remained the same - hasn't got any worse or better. It is a more of a paler pink rather than red. Would be grateful if you can give any advice.

Tweety Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 If it hasn't gone down since last week, I think I would take her to the vet. There is obviously something going on, and it sounds as if it may be infected. One of my girls was stung by something - or, at least, that is what the vet thought had happened - and one of her wattles swelled up. Antibiotics sorted it out.
