Wart on chicken? Got some pictures, please help! :0

[chickiyo]

So I found a wart on my chicken, Akaky today...:/pretty confused as to what it might be. I only found one, and it isn't dark, it does have a couple freckles on it. Please help! I am kinda worried,

I am a pretty new chicken owner.

OK I have two ideas

Bug that is tucked in there like a tick?

or the birds oil gland on tip of tail???

 

[chickiyo]

No I checked, there is no tick, its all skin. Its a pretty big wart, and I just want to make sure it is nothing serious. Its on her saddle part as seen on the pic below

I responded earlier to your other post asking about this. It is an oil gland. Your chicken is fine.

Oh okay thanks so much! Yeah I searched up oil glands, I totally had no idea they existed...

typical newbie.

Thanks for all the help

I agree with sonew123. It is the oil gland where the top of the tail is. Your gal will rub her head on it and then distribute the oil to other parts of her body.
