Hi there,
One of my chickens has a weird growth on her wing. She's had it for about a year now and it keeps getting bigger. At first it just looked like a fat lump covered in skin under the feathers, but now it has like bone growing out of it.
She doesn't seem at all bothered by it, she was flapping her wings happily in the sun to ruffle her feathers - though maybe that wing wasn't as extended as the other wing. It was hard to tell. My chickens aren't friendly and you can't go near them unless they're asleep in the coop at night. There isn't a proper chicken vet near us - the vets round here don't deal with birds at all it seems (due to being an urban centre). There's one about an hour away but I don't think they're very good - first lockdown last year two of my chickens died because they never made up the antibiotics they prescribed despite me pestering the vet every couple of days for 3 weeks.
Any ideas?
