Hi y’all! I’ve enjoyed reading other people’s advice on raising their chickens for the past couple of months. I finally have a problem I need advice on.
One of my hens has a lump on her face.. she is still eating and acting normal. What should I do and should I be concerned?

Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
More and better pictures would help.
Has she had it since she was a chick? Is it getting bigger?

Welcome to BYC!!
Could you get a clearer picture of her face? And one from the side?
Do any of the others have similar lumps?

Hi and welcome to BYC.
I'd suggest posting your question on the ER forum

Read this first

Then post here

Here are a couple thoughts with treatment recommendations. One could be fowl pox and the other in a prior BYC thread thought infection in sinuses.
