Marble lump in neck

[Stephnrobby]

My 6 month old brahma is having trouble eating, everytime he does he seems to be choking. I have recently picked him up and there is a marble size lump in his throat/neck. And I'm wondering if there is anything we can do to help him. His crop is empty. We have him penicillin week ago butt he's still the same. Please help so I don't have to put him down.

I have no idea about the marble lump.
Does he drink water?
Have you tried a mash for food?

I can move this lump up and down a little...haven't really seen him with the water yet

He may have tumor in his throat, or a really big rock.
Have you tried coconut oil to slicken the throat in case it's a blockage that needs to be worked out?

Just a little advice if it is a Rock blockage, work it up, out through the mouth. If you pass it to the crop, it may get lodged in there, & will cause even bigger problems.

Can you get some photos of him and his poop?
What do you feed?

Look inside his beak for any obstructions or lesions.

You mention the lump is in his throat/neck - when you post the photo - mark the area you are talking about. Hard to tell if you are talking about his crop or some other problem.

You mention you gave Penicillin a week ago - dose and for how long?
How long has he had this problem?

I've noticed it maybe 2 weeks now.
It's not his crop it's way above that but not as far as his beak. I can try and get pics in few it is pouring rain right now.

They eat mini feed pellets, but I've tried oatmeal but he only gets a little down then starts hacking like he's choking
