In the Brooder
I just discovered a growth (about 1 inch diameter) on my hen's lower rib area yesterday. She is 8 months old and acting healthy (eating, drinking, scratching, etc). I'm not sure if she is laying, we isolated her yesterday so I will know today if she is. I did a about an hour of combing through this thread last night and didn't find any similar conditions. I don't believe it has anything to do with her crop or vent. The only other symptoms are her poop seems more watery than usual and when we hold her she tends to poop on whomever is holding her. I know chickens are good at hiding sickness until it is really bad. So.....
1. Any idea what this is?
2. Should we keep her isolated?
3. What should be our next step?
