What are these lumps on leghorn chicks nares?

[CabritaChicks]

On the houdan?

Yes, but on all of them. Any sores outside the nares/beak?

Hello everyone.

yesterday I bought three chicks from a feed N seed two hours away. today I found a large lump on the side of the chicks neck. what could this be. this chick doesn't have any feathers on its body and it is a white leghorn female about 3 to 4 weeks old. it is much larger then the other two I bought a new hampshire red and a black sexlink. I would take it back but Its just too far to drive. does anyone have any ideas on what this could be and if it might be life threatening. other then the lump and no feathers which I attribute to the heat it seems as healthy as the other two. it eats and drinks and takes dirt bathes and forages.

I’m so sorry about your chick.
Please start a thread in “Emergencies”and describe the lump and add pictures.
An educator should be able to advise you.

Are you sure it isn't just the chick's crop? No feathers and larger than the others makes me think you might actually have a meat bird.

I was worried at first, but now I see it could just be the crop. The size difference and lack of feathers might explain why it seems bigger than the others. Maybe it really is a meat-type bird rather than a standard Leghorn. I’ll keep an eye on it, but it’s good to know it might just be normal.
