Any ideas about the growth on her nostril? She’s about 5 months. We are in the DFW area. Thought it might be a botfly larva based on Google searching. There’s a bit of blood on the underside. I just noticed it today.

Thanks for any help!

So tried about 10 local vets but none of them will take a chicken. I’ll try rural towns tomorrow. Tonight it’s bloody and fleshy. It’s not a bot fly.
I cleaned it up and put antibiotic cream. She’s still acting normal, just upset with me.

Did it rupture on it's own, possibly she hung it on some wire or even a flock mate picked at it.
It's still interesting and I still have no clue what it is, but it does look like tissue (cyst/tumor?). Cleaning and applying antibiotic cream/ointment is what I'd do too.

Acting normal is good. I'd tend to it like a you're doing. It may remain a mystery, but hopefully someone can tell you (and you tell us) what it is.
