I have one lady that has always been really small compared to the others but she is towards the top of the pecking order and gets more than her fair share of food. However, she never really developed out like the others. She is still a lot smaller and has almost no meat on her breast. I noticed her yesterday looking off like she had a chunk missing but I was unable to catch her. Today I caught her and figured out it is not that she has a chunk out of her but rather a lump.
The lump is on the right side of her lower neck/upper chest and it is almost of an egg but but not rock hard. It is firm but still a little squishy. She was not phased by my pushing around on it. I can not really describe exactly where it is but it is not affecting eating or drinking at this time.
This picture is not of her but of another one. The point of the picture was to make a circle where the lump is and a proportionate size of the lump. The lump is almost round.
She is pretty happy go lucky and even though we both have grim looks on our faces about her, we agree we will let her keep peckin' along until such time as she looks to be miserable and then we will lay her to rest.
Any ideas on what this might be?
