Help--Bump on a molting hen!!

[Ilovemyladies!]

I have a RIR hen who is molting and she has a wart-like bump on her back and she is growing new feathers there, so what is it??

Can you post a picture, sometimes if we see it we can better tell you what it may be.​

I'm not sure how

Is it near her tail/vent area? Might be an oil gland..

 

[Ilovemyladies!]

It is above her tail bone.

Oil gland....most likely. Check your others, they will have one too.

Here's another thread with pics.
