I don’t have any experience with ingrown feather cysts, but since it is close to feathers it may be. It doesn’t appear to be vety serious, but I would watch it.

@Wyorp Rock @Overo Mare @casportpony any ideas?

I feel inclined to lance it open, drain it and flush it. Not sure if that's the proper course of action with a chicken, but with any mammal, that's what I'd do.

Let's see if anyone else chimes in.

Slit it open nothing comes out like pus or water slightly blood comes out my mom was Holding him so she noticed a very small feather she pulled it with twizer now we monitor him apply ointment cause I am unable to Bandage it it's on the end edge of wing

Hello There Want to update on teetee's Feather Cyst : after having conversations and replied here on BYC thanks to @TwoCrows @azygous @Wyorp Rock for all the help and iinformation

I split the Cyst with a Sterilized Niddle & Betadine Solution and almost hole down inside there's some sort of water type liquid surely feather material and keratin ..

Now after 1 week the cyst shrink and a new new Feather started to come out from the cyst now ..so it's really reliving to see the process


Though I also found my both boys are moulting cause I see feathers all over , mood changes , sleepiness as we are moving towards cold weather .

I am giving them Multi-vitamins , eggs and sunlight
