What is this growth on my chicken's eyelid?

I just noticed that my 8 week old blue splash marans has a growth that looks kind of like a mole near her eye; she also has a bump on her beak that might have come from injuries sustained while trying to stick her head through the fencing.

What is the growth? Could it be fowlpox? Do I need to separate her from the others? She is healthy otherwise. Thanks for any input.

No, I don't think it is fowl pox. It looks more like a growth such as the one on the top of the beak. I would bet that both will fall off in the next month. Someone else recently had a similar eye scab (fell off eventually) and many post about those beak growths, which are usually related to injury on fencing, waterers, or feeders. If you do a BYC search at the top for growth or wart on chicken's beak, you will see many posts.
