I am now wondering after some more research if this is a plugged nostril? If so how do I help without causing injury? Thanks!
 
Any update? I'm sorry no one has responded to this! My hen has something similar, but the bump is a little smaller, and she's been sneezing and scratching at it non-stop! I think it's hard for her to breathe, and when she sneezes, the eye opposite of the bump bubbles/foams up. I'm taking her to the vet soon because it looks like an infection that needs antibiotics
