Possible tumor on my Roo. Please help Larry

[dfish]

Larry My Black jersey Giant rooster has what looks like a red golf ball size tumor back in between his legs near his anus. I could see a pulse from a vein, I had noticed this after he mounted a hen.
He is about 8 months old and 9 pounds. Any ideas?

not sure what it looks like, he might have something in it that may cause an infection? maybe soak him a warm bath

Herniated Intestines is what the vet thought about it, And real there was no surgery option for this one. I will not cull unless I see him suffering. I have pulled him from his flock due to this can be a gene issue and I will not take that chance with his offspring. He now roams the property with some of my others.

aw thats too bad ! Hopefully He will be ok. hope it doesnt grow any bigger !

If he is obviously in pain, then you should put him out of his misery. I'm sorry this happened.

I hope he recovers well.

He seems to be in very good spirits and is acting normal, I can pick him up flip him over and touch the area, He shows no sign of pain or discomfort. I have pulled him from the Jersey flock That I use for breeding, And put him in with my mixed breed run, But the day that he shows that he is any type of pain. I will sadly take care of him.
I have since got some more blue and Black roo's and more pullets. Thank you all for the replys.
