A few days ago we noticed that one of our chickens (buff orp) has a mass like thing on her breast, just right of midline. My husband spotted it (he's in oncology) he thinks it's a tumor. Today we picked her up to figure it out. It's there and about the size of a tangerine orange. We also believe she stopped laying eggs a few days ago.
She's only 9 months old and has been very healthy up to now. Actually she still seems quite healthy in as far as she's walking around, getting up to her roost, eating, etc. My husband thinks her feathers are not as full as they used to be but I don't see it.
Has anyone ever heard of such a thing on a chicken? I'm not quite sure what to do about it.
