Our production red had a black bump on her leg one day- it seemed to grow fast and she started pecking it. We brought her to the vet ( who sees birds- but did not know what it was) He gave her antibiotics but they don't seem to have made it change at all. We started to wrap it with antibiotic ointment and gauze with paper tape over it because she was pecking at it. It does not seem to hurt her. She is walking fine on that leg- eating fine- acting normal. But it is terrible looking and obviously something is wrong? could it be cancer? She is 3 years old. This has been going on for about 2 weeks now. Can anyone tell us what it is and what to do? Thank you
