Could it be a bite, sting or cyst?

She appears to be a ex battery bird as she's been debeaked. There should not be a lump where you are pointing, is it hard, soft & squishy, etc. , what does it feel like? Does it move around when you manipulate it? Have someone hold her, open the beak and use a small light to look as far down her throat as you can, see if you can see anything lodged there or if there is any noticeable swelling, or any plaques inside the mouth or throat.
Also feel her crop, is there anything in it? Image of a full crop below.

no definitely not i don’t think so the lump is moveable should i massage her throat with olive oil ?

I wouldn't massage until you have a better idea of what it could be. If something sharp has lodged there and you massage it, it could do more damage or make it even more stuck. Chickens have been known to swallow all sorts of bizarre things. When you look in her mouth and throat make sure you can also see her tongue.

What's her complete diet? Is the lump under the skin or deeper?
