I just noticed something similar to this post with my goose - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/goose-with-large-lump-on-wing-photos.107338/. She’s about 8 weeks old and has a tough upbringing. She fell out of a nest very you long and has had a limp and had issues drinking water growing up - https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/gosling-backflips-over-when-drinking-water.202915/
We’ve raised her by hand, but integrating her back with her family has been tough. Rather unfortunately, she gets too much attention from a Drake in our flock. This morning we noticed a pretty solid bump on her wing, right at a joint. I’m guessing it is an injury from the Drake, but I’m not sure.
Any thoughts - Ingrown feather, arthritis (maybe in her leg too), injury from the duck?

Without a picture, it is hard to make a guess. Bottom line is that it sounds as if she should be kept separate from the drake. If the 'attention' is in the form of breeding at this age it could seriously injure her.
