One of my chickens has developed a lump on her beak

[TL003]

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

@TL003 could you post any pictures of the lesion on the back and possibly start a new thread, since this one is 7 years old. That would get you more looks and advice. Start a new thread here by clicking here:

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:

You may want to get a picture to post her and start another thread of your own here for more help:

My speckled Sussex pullet has the same thing

it looks like it might be an abscess and that black spot would be where an opening would or could be. keep in mind that it could be contagious and wear gloves . or possible she has something in it that has become infected. same treatment, keep doing what your doing. a warm wet rag could help with pain or to help it drain. this is only a opinion.

I took your advice and it worked. I cleaned the area on the beak everyday and put Neosporin. As it dried up I just put Neosporin. It fell off after two weeks of drying up. I think it scratched itself on the metal feeder I had. I changed it to plastic so hopefully I have solved the problem. Thanks again. First time chicken mom.
