Yeah, it is. I think her nose was clogged. When she would breathe and exhale the skin between her eyes and nose would inflate and deflate when she inhaled. Super odd.
My hen dislocated her middle toe, the knuckle furthest from her body. Her skin was not broken, just swollen and warm where it popped out. We made a splint for her with cotton swabs and electrical tape. Today when I went to check on her, she had gotten the splint off and it was popped out again...
