   One of my new welsh ducklings has a lump on its neck. Doesn't look like the crop. It's eating, breathing and drinking fine, but occasionally I see it mock swallow as if it's uncomfortable, which is understandable. Does anyone know what this is? I've attached a picture. Please help.

   Oooh. I have not seen that before....
   
   Could you please post over on the duck forum? Maybe someone there has an idea.

   Meanwhile, I wonder if it's a cyst, or an infected gland or something.
   
   Is it soft to the touch? Tender?
   
   There are feather cysts - pretty benign, if I recall correctly....
