I recently found one of my California White pullets (she is about 5 months old and laying) with a strange lump on her beak. I haven't had the time to look at it much, but it appears to be the same color as the rest of the beak with a very small scab in the middle. She is acting normal (eating, drinking, etc.), and the growth does not seem to bother her when I touch it. I have been browsing the internet for a long while and have found no answers so far. This is the first time I have seen something like this in any of my birds, and I have not noticed it on any of her flockmates.

Does anyone have any insight on what this is and how it should be treated? Thanks! :)

(Will try to post picture tomorrow.)
 
Here's a few different shots at it. Sorry if they're not very clear, I had a hard time keeping her still!
