I am pretty new to raising chickens. My 5 month old Dominique pullet has a strange lump on her throat. At first I thought she had a bad crop so I did what was suggested to me and put her in a cage by herself and gave her 2 caplets of Dulcolax with 1cc of apple sauce. I did that for 2 days and the lump didn't go down. In fact I have been told that the lump is on the wrong side of her throat for it to be her crop and to high up. So then I thought maybe Cocidiiosis and gave her medicine for that with no significant improvement. Today I went to TSC to find some other antibiotic. The man told me to give her electrolytes. She has only been eating what I put in her beak. I have attached a picture. If anyone knows what is wrong with my poor little chicken please tell me what to do. I don't really want to think of the next step if she doesn't start eating. Thanks
