Eye issue

[Arvanda]

She seems healthy but this thing seems to keep growing. Any ideas/suggestions?

That looks like a cyst. Does it feel soft, hard, or fluid-filled? Is there any mark where she might have been pecked? Perhaps you can disinfect the skin, and lance it or pierce it with a sterilized needle to see if there is fluid or pus inside.

100% agree, it's really important to know if it's hard or soft/squishy. Just be careful to hold her really really still if you try to lance it, don't want to accidently poke her eye

It’s more hard than soft, but I would say in between. No leaking. Hasn’t been pecked

Let us know if it gets larger or what you find if you decide to probe it with a needle.

seems to be larger now and maybe pressing in on her eyeball. Still doesn’t seem to bother her but really not sure about lancing it…

How much larger is it? Is it still smooth or irregular? Pictures?
