What the heck is this?

Fascinating!

Doesn't the absorbed twin or parasitic twin thing show up from birth [or in this case hatching]? Or can it show up later in life?

it could be a tiny unnoticed bump that would grow as the chicken does.

Tee hee Granny that would not surprise me.

chickiegrl06 all joking aside, I do hope that your girl is OK and please let us know how she goes, if it continues to grow etc. What you do about it, if anything.

Subscribing. If you update I want to hear about what's going on or if you decide to do something about it. Quite interesting!
Bottom line though, I hope your chicky is fine regardless of what transpires with this "thing."

It may be a teratoma, which is a tumor made up of tissue from other parts of the body.

Granny and I were reading more about these. Thought they were internal, but who knows with a chicken! Chickiegrl06 has something of a medical mystery. Love this science-y stuff!
