    Swollen comb on silkie hen

    My hen has a very swollen comb. We also have a case of scaley mites in our coop, so I thought that was the issue and have been treating it as so, but the swelling has not gone down now for a few days. Could it be a sting? I'm worried it's something more serious - she has been acting normal...

    2 week old chick's leg is swollen and looks deformed

    I noticed one of the legs looked swollen on a chick but he isn't walking any different or acting like it's painful at all. The swelling isn't something I've seen before, but it looks like it is every joint on his right leg. Any idea what caused this and how can I help?
