I have a chicken that I brought in yesterday afternoon when I saw the knot on her face. I had not seen it before and she was acting normal. I put hot compresses on her face and she seemed to like that. I made a tea with cayenne and garlic, let it steep until room temperature, and have been giving her that 2-3x a day plus putting some on the area. This is the only liquid she has available. Her appetite is good, she is still acting normally, but I have noticed that her B.M.s are watery and she looks like she is yawning a lot. The swelling encompasses her ear. She does not bend down to drink,but will eat fine.
When I used the hot compress, the liquid that leaked out was watery with some blood. I used some yarrow oil on it.
