Hi BYC,
Does anyone know what this lump is on Henrietta's lower eyelid?
I noticed her lid wasn't entirely normal a couple weeks ago when she was hatching her chicks.
One of them pecked her eye, but I honestly didn't notice if the chick pecked it because there was already a lump, or if the peck was the cause of the lump... there was so much going on at the time. I had to remove the chick cos she pecked it back and drew blood, so that was my priority.
It has gotten a bit rounder in the last few days, but it doesn't seem inflamed and she doesn't seem upset by it. She's eating, drinking, pooping, bathing, and mothering normally.
There are no other visible lumps anywhere that I can see, and I haven't noticed anything on the rest of the flock or chicks.
