Lump on Chicken's Back

[Tsickum]

Hi all, noticed today one of my girls was pecking at something at the base of her spine... it's about a cm long and looks like a nipple! There were little yellow spots on the end. She's very happy in herself and it's small, just wondering if it's a common thing to see.

TIA!

That is most likely her preen gland and nothing to worry about. You can google pictures to compare.

You're right, thank you for that! Never heard of it before.
