Hi there, welcome to BYC!
Molt can be especially challenging.. what are you feeding and how old is she?
Is it possible this is your first time noticing her preen gland?
Hope she recovers quickly and that there's no need to see the vet!

Thank you, I'm on Vancouver Island, BC. She's approx 7-8 yrs old, eating regular layer pellets with veggies, and other treats. The lump is about the diameter of a nickel, and about half an inch deep, quite purple as if it's full of fluid. Could it be an infected preening gland? It's round though, doesn't look like her gland would.
