One of my chickens has developed a lump on her beak

Chooks! Thx. For the great information! My chicken has a huge growth On her back like between her wings. It’s a huge tumor looking thing and it’s gotten bigger. We’ve had her on antibiotics for over a week with no changes yet of the tumor? And it does ooze alittle. She still has an appetite. She rolled a lot in the dirt today more than normal. She usually lays one egg a day but she hasn’t been since she got this lump lump? Any advice I would surely appreciate it very very much! Thank you, Tracy
 
Welcome to BYC. It looks like one of the common beak bumps that many people here ask about. The first thought is it could be a papilloma from a virus that may fall off eventually, or a cyst. Some chickens can get an injury from a sharp feeder or piece of fencing. I would just watch it to see if it gets larger, if more spots appear, or if it disappears. Here is some reading about other similar bumps:
