I posted this problem about a month ago, when I first noticed it, and no one on BYC that day could figure it out. Although my hen shows no sign of illness or discomfort whatsoever, this is still kind of bothering me, so I was wondering if anyone has any insight as to why my barred rock suddenly developed this lump in her neck, or is this lumpy neck normal for BR's? Since she's the only BR I have, I suppose I can't rule out that possibility. The only thing I can think of, now that it doesn't seem to be an illness (since it's been there so long and she still seems perfectly healthy) is that perhaps she swallowed something and it's stuck in there? Or could it be a tumor? Has anyone seen anything like this? Here's a picture:
