I have a 13 week exchequer leghorn pullet that has always had a prominent chin. Lately it is looking more mass-like. No oral lesions. No difficulty eating or drinking. I poked it with a needle and it had clear fluid in it. Any ideas? The rest of the flock is normal.

Clear fluid sounds more like a cyst than a tumor or abscess. I would put a little plain Neosporin ointment or other disinfectant, and watch it for a few days.
