Hi Sally, sorry you are dealing with this trouble.

Where exactly is the lump you felt situated? More towards her crop or rather near her throat? Can you open up her beak and try to look down her throat with a flash light?

This indeed could be some trapped object she swallowed, but it also might be some kind of tumor growing.

ETA: How old is your hen?

the lump moves as she moves her head (sometimes it is close to her face and other times it is closer to her crop but never goes down) I looked down her throat couldn't see anything but I did find out her breath stinks probably because of sour crop her poo is sloppy wight and green I believe she is 2 and 1/2 years old isa brown

I've heard giving olive oil and massaging the crop can work but i'm pretty sure that's for an impacted crop and we don't know for sure what your chickens problem is; I hope you manage to sort her

I have actually tried that but it did not work

The crop issue was likely not resolved (your other thread linked below).
Treat her for Sour Crop and de-worm her. See if that helps.

Ok, but what can I feed her she can't really eat and definitely can't eat hard food also how do I apply orally

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Mine do that to rearrange their crops. That’s how my hen with sour crop moved it. But almost all of my others do it too (especially at night when they have full crops). I always thought it was just uncomfortable (like when people have full stomachs) so that was their way of moving it and trying to make it more comfortable.

 

[Sally487]

I do think she is just trying to get more comfortable but the ...thing... keeps moving around it is very weird I also have no idea how it got there it might be a tumor but then how do you get rid of that? and how do you feed her

How does her breath smell, rather foul or sweetly? This might even be a lump of encapsulated/accumulated pus from canker/trichomonosis.
