Wart? Tumor? Help!

Hello wonderful backyard chicken community. I've been lurking for a while now, but now that I have chicks I have all kinds of questions.

Can you take a look at this and tell me what you think it is and what I should do? It is on a three week old gold laced wyandotte.

Could be an injury or could be the start of fowl pox.

Could be an injury or could be the start of fowl pox.

It started with a small raised area right on the eyelid no redness. Does that help narrow it down?

Could be the pox. If it continues to get worse, than that's what I would think. It's spread by mosquitoes, and runs it course in about 6 weeks. There's no treatment.

Yeah, I'm sure it is now. Chickens are such little beasts when it comes to pecking anything raised or discolored. Mine try to de-freckle me.
