Hard long growth protruding from chicken neck

[Nonnasnest]

My serama bantam hen has a long hard growth of some kind growing out of her neck. Any idea what it is and what I should do to get it off/out? She is not showing any other symptoms that I can tell. Moving around good, eating, drinking, all seems good
Thank you so much for any help!

Welcome to BYC. Great pictures! Can you pluck the feathers around the base and get a clear picture of what it looks like at the body?

Thank you! I'll see what I can do and get some pictures.

My hen is experiencing the same/very similar thing. Looking for answers.

Hey y'all, I have been out of town for the weekend and just got a chance to see about things this evening. I plucked a couple of feathers and then I saw an air sack to. I know they have air sacks but I have not seen one before. Especially not like that. I also trimmed a little bit of stuff from the thing sticking out. It's very crumbly when cut off. Then there's a small area in the center that is a different color and looks like a different texture than the outer stuff.

Do you have any pictures of your hens issue?

Great pictures! If she were mine, I would trim a little off, and if it didn't bleed, trim more. Repeat until gone or bloody.
