Have you felt it? Touch it and see if it's hard or soft, sharp like a thorn, and if she winces with pain at the touch.

It could be a thorn from a weed she ate. You might want to grasp it with a tweezers if it feels hard and sharp like a thorn.

The way chickens peck and poke at everything they encounter, she might have gotten a foreign body stuck in the soft tissue.
