What is this on my hens skin??

[guest226]

Under my hens tailfeathers she has this weird skin tag the size of my pinky nail. It feels like flesh. She keeps pulling at it. It feels attached to her skin.

That's the preening/oil Gland. It's a normal part of the bird.

nevermind it’s the gland that all of them have sorry for the concern! If you’re viewing this please take a look at my other threads. I have my main concerns with an egg bound hen.
