Is this normal??

[Bridger Davis]

I have seen something like this twice before and I never did figure out what it was. Neither bird survived.

Well that's not very reassuring now is it

Did you open them up?

Ducks crops are different than chickens, correct?

Yes. Both had huge masses.

Yes. Let me see if I can find a picture.

Yes, she just drank and was foraging a tiny bit but did not seem interested in her rations. She's hanging closer to the others now, so that's good. Perhaps she was just holding a grudge? I know it sounds crazy but earlier I put this new duck harness for walking them on one of her friends and they were all really upset with it so I took it off.. maybe she was just upset about that, like moderately traumatized??

How long has the lump been there? Try removing her feed tonight and see if it's smaller in the morning.

Ok np bc they never get food at night.... I only really noticed it this afternoon, before she's looked fine....

So maybe some kind of tumor...no histology done?

Okay, so maybe she just over ate. If so, she should be fine in the morning.

In both of mine it was like a meaty tumor, very odd looking.
