Is the lump soft or hard?

Yes, I too thank you for posting. My hen Bella who has 3 new babies and she is the sweetest thing also developed a huge lump on the right side that I noticed today. I will check her tomorrow

And did everything go well with Bella?

Hey, what do we do if the lump isn’t gone after 3 days? My 15 weeks old chickens belly is literally just bone

Is the lump on the right side of the breast as mentioned in the original post? In which case it’s most likely the chicken’s crop. If your chicken’s crop has stayed full/round/firm for 3 days then it is possible impacted and your chicken will be unable to digest further food. It should fill and empty over time - can you confine your chicken somewhere overnight (and take away food) and check in the morning if it is still full. Are they drinking and do they seem well otherwise?
