I have a 12week old RSL pullet. I have notived lately that she isn't holding her head quite as hiugh as the rest of my flock. It was minor and she was behaving normally so I just kept an eye on her. This morning while tehy were ranging I noticed that it is pretty much down and forward at all times. In addition to that there is a spot on her neck that is very swollen and distorting her appearance. I have included pics below. Has anyone seen any thing like this? They free range about half the time otherwise they are in their run. I haven't seen anything to make me believe it is an injury but I can't rule it our either.
The first pic shows her posture and the second the swelling
