Hi, all. My one year old Australorps had an aggressive rooster with them over the winter and are just now getting most of their feathers back. I was checking them out and found these two semi-firm lumps on one. Is it something anyone has seen before? I thought perhaps feather cysts, but most of the comments I saw on those said they weren't on the head. We are having a terrible tick problem, too, but as far as I know they don't burrow beneath the skin. I would appreciate any input. Thanks!

I had to tweet it, hope it doesn't prevent you from looking.
