I don't know how to post a pic, I looks a little better today. I think it might be a full crop, but is it possible that it would get that big and how come?

just alot bigger

My son and I just noticed tonight that one of our austalopes has a large growth or bump on her chest. It feels hard and you can move it around. It is about the size of a softball maybe a little bigger. She seems fine and is running around with the pack. Should we be nervous? Thanks....

I have the same problem, they are about 10 weeks and I caught one hen running around pulling those little fuzzy feathers underneath everyone elses tails out. I had a bad experience with another flock that just kept plucking until nothing was left. I seperated her tonight and put her with some...
