She’s smaller than the rest of my girls. She is eating and drinking. However she is almost always roosting. Large knot, feels hot to the touch. Any thoughts or help appreciated.

Thank you! That’s what I’m thinking and post pics here of any major changes.I'm sorry that the vet was no help
You may want to just monitor the lump for the few days to see if there is any change in it and just treat the sore.
It’s swollen a little more today and feels hard not squishyWelcome To BYC!
Can you post a couple of whole body photos, preferably her standing on her own?
How old is she?
What are you feeding her?
Is her crop empty by morning?
What does her poop look like?
You may want to just clean that area, flush with a little saline and apply a triple antibiotic ointment to the scab.
The "lump" - how does that feel - hard, soft, squishy, fluid filled, air filled?
