New bumps on 18 mo old Rhode Island

Oh!! And please fill me in on the $5 vet. That's pretty cool, wasnt aware of such a thing.
You sign up and text them. You have an optional $29 phone call. You can send in pictures. If you like the service, you will be billed $29/month. It was a link under the Injury Disease forum.
 
There are feather shafts in the picture where they have not been broken off. Some chickens will pull out feathers of meeker hens, and sometimes while sitting on a roost. The biggest bump looks like where the preen gland is located. Feathers can become ingrown causing bumps. Mareks disease can sometimes cause skin lesions. You might try exploring one or more of the lesions with a sterilzed needle to see if there is pus or an ingrown feather inside. A hen saddle or apron may be tried to cover the bare area to see if the feathers will grow back in.
