Hi! My sweet six-month-old hen has been acting lethargic since yesterday. I found her this afternoon wedged into a fence, panting and with her bottom in the air. When I checked her, I noticed a very odd, featherless lump above and to the right of her vent. It feels hard to the touch and is about 3 inches by 1 inch large. I've never seen anything like this. There is no blood or open wound. For reference: she hasn't laid an egg yet and we have an aggressive Frizzle rooster who is her same age.
Any help or advice you could give me would be greatly appreciated. I have isolated her and she is resting in a warm spot. Thank you!
