This Cream Legbar hen is about 2yrs old and is mid-molt. She seems completely normal and is eating/drinking fine.
I happened to handle her today as she was being cheeky and not going back in the house to roost, and I noticed this lump on her underside right at the top of the sternum. Touching it didn't elicit any reaction and it felt reasonably solid.
Is this a cyst or ingrowing feather, or some other wound? I've kept chickens for a long time and never seen this before! Do I need to take any action? Thanks
