Pea sized growth on eyelid of chicken

[Spruceroost]

I'm worried it's a tumor. I took my rabbit to a vet a year back and it had something similar on it's hand, it started out as black and then turned red and large a week after.

Doc said it was a tumor and removed it. Didn't mention anything about cancer, and it was a whopping 250 bucks for the surgery.

My chicken is about 5 months old and this thing just showed up on its eyelid. It was black and looked like it could have been dirt or something. When I pulled on it, the whole black scab came off and it was really red and bloody. I thought of taking a picture but I started disinfecting everything and put it in the coop, it's dusk out so I thought it could dry up and I would do something in the morning.

I have a few questions I hope I can get some help with:

Is this anything other than a tumor?

Does chicken blood from a tumor present a risk to humans?

Does tumor blood present a risk to the other chickens?

Any help would be appreciated!

I'm assuming you have other chickens, and if so one of them pecked her in the eye is all and broke the skin. Just a scab, keep it clean and she'll be fine!

It's pea sized though, do scabs on the eye get that big?

Yeah, they can if she was pecked and blood got over a large area of the eye lid.
