hi guys, my 6 year old silkie hen has had a lump on the side of her neck for the last 3-4 months. i took her to the vet and they treated her with antibiotics and anti-inflammatories, which seemed to help while she was on them. now the lump seems to be getting bigger, she isn’t as active and not eating/drinking as regularly. first photo shows location of lump on her body. in the second photo the crusty bit in the middle is like a scab (both times the vet removed the scab), but there is swelling above and below that. i have been doing flushing with betadine and saline almost daily. has anyone seen this in their chickens? thanks in advance!
