@Shadrach do you have any ideas about this?

It could possibly be a an ingrown feather cyst. When the skin is disinfected and a sterilized needle used, you can sometimes find an ingrown feather inside similar cysts. If you have vet care, that would be ideal. A cyst or tumor might also be possible. Below is a picture of a turkey with a feather cyst.

I don't, or at least nothing that wouldn't be guessing.
Vet is favorite option.

Hi Aussie...the vet is not a Avian vet and thought it was an abscess. He took a sample with a syringe which didn’t show much. He didn’t believe it was infected so no antibiotics. So we are just leaving it be. ??? And to watch for. any signs of infection. I guess I will build her immunity up and hope for the best. I still think it's a feather cyst. I have some Scandinavian Pine Tar coming. I kept her in doors last night and now She’s outside but isolated from the other girls...especially Madge. I'm thinking of buying some vitamins etc any suggestions?
