Strange Growth

[Momma Kat]

My sweet little Turken, Ostriegé. I had seen a small round bump near her tail feathers. Today while giving her cuddle time I noticed it has grown. I’m worried about what it could be. She’s tiny yet she is always eating and drinking. All normal behavior. She NEVER stops chirping. She’s always wanting the other chicks to cuddle her tightly. Ostriegé is definitely a baby. PLEASE look over the photos and see if you have any clue or opinion you would . Thank you for helping. View attachment 1770216 View attachment 1770217

I could not see your photos, but I think you are talking about the preening gland.
