Lump chickens head

[GingerAndHerChicks]

Morning guys,
My gold laced Wyandotte all of the sudden this morning formed a lump/bubble near her comb. I am not sure what it is and searching google is not helpful. Can someone please identify what it can be and how I can help?

thank you

How does it feel? Looks kind of like a bee sting.

It’s hard.

It’s hard.

Sounds like swelling. Is it painful to her when you touch it?

She doesn’t react to it, but I can tell she’s not herself, seems a little out of it today and not her happy self.

I'd suggest just keeping an eye on it for now?

Is her ear swollen too?
Anything in the ear or inside her beak?

Look over her head really well on all sides to see if there's a tick?

Her ear is normal, beak is clean, it’s been hot so she pants but otherwise all good with beak. We are in the city and with 3 dogs over 5 years I’ve never came across a tick here. But IF, would a tick bite cause a hard lump? I’m stunned really, but she did well today - eating, drinking

An insect bite might cause a hard lump.
Could she have possibly bumped her head somehow? Chickens can injure themselves in odd ways sometimes.

Eating/drinking is good. I'm not sure what else you can do for her right this minute - if the bump changes somehow, then we may be able to suggest something else besides observation.
I know it must be frustrating, but without knowing the cause it's hard to know what can be done.

That is the worst part I do not know what caused it BUT this morning she now has a lump/bump on her neck in addition to top of head.
