One of our hens has had a bald spot for some time on her head from the rooster. But between last week and this week though, a large lump developed and the skin is even open. If i compress it with my hand its rock hard. At first I thought is it possible she ate food and somehow got it back there? But if her throat was part of injury I would expect her to be in bad shape.
See pics. Ive browsed other forum posts about tumors and abscess etc not sure what to think. She acts fine otherwise. No puss no blood. Is it possible she got a bunch of in grown feathers and it created some sort of infection and then hard scab?…
The hard lump is about 1” long and 1/2” thick and wide
