Help. Fluid filled chest and lump on my cute little red hen

[jpage4]

I have a cute little red small hen, not sure what type she is but does have some silkie in her. She is 1 year and weighs about 2 pounds. She was small when I got her and has remained small, up until about 2 weeks ago was giving me an egg a day.
She is all alone now. I didnt have the best of luck when choosing hens as babies, out of the 4 only 1 was a hen. (I am not allowed roosters where I live).
She started brooding one of her eggs right before we homed the 3 roosters. So she was ok being alone at that time.
It also turned out to be a rooster.
About 3 weeks ago it started grabbing her feathers on the back of her neck and pecking her.
We found a home for the rooster but it definitely took a lot of her feathers
I didn't notice her swelling and what was really going on until I started taking her out of the run and letting her roam in the yard with me.
She has acted somewhat normal even with whatever it is that she has going on.
I noticed a lump on her back about the size of a quarter that was filled with fluid.
I initially thought that she had an infection from the rooster pecking at her so I bought some Vetericyn to spray the wound however I cant see anyplace that there is an open wound. I also started giving her Clindamycin. I believe that the swelling was moving to her chest I just didnt really notice until about 3 days later. It also feels full of fluid

Two days ago when i would go check on her she wasnt coming out of her pen, nor was she eating regardless of what I put in front of her. When i picked her up later that day to give her some medicine she had a lot of phlegm come out. and then some more.
The next morning she ate and drank and seemed to be better as far as moving around. Then yesterday she had a little more phlegm but still seemed "ok" . I have been making sure she stays hydrated, giving her water from a syringe. I have added a little apple cider vinegar to the water as well.
Her poop was green and runny then yesterday it was green and hard. I am wondering if the only way to cure what this is, is to drain it? Is this a tumor?
Any advice would be so appreciated. I feel like I have googled everything but the right thing to help her. Thank you

Welcome To BYC

It's very hard to tell the location of the swelling. Can you take some more photos, maybe one of all of her?

Is it her crop that is fluid filled? You mention phlegm coming out of the beak, is it smelly like sour/yeasty or a rotten smell?

Any lesions or signs of canker, yellow or white pasty material inside the beak?

If the crop is full of liquid, she may have Sour crop. I'd address that symptom according to this article https://www.backyardchickens.com/ar...w-to-know-which-one-youre-dealing-with.73607/

Thank you for the reply. I did actually read about crop however I feel like her swelling starts at the base of her neck where that large swollen lump is and wraps around just on the right side of her chest. its always hard to tell with pictures, but what caught my eye was that her right chest seemed bigger. I have attached a few pictures hoping that helps. Thank you!

The crop is on the right side of the breast.

Can you cage her for a night without food/water and check the lump to see if it reduces in size? You're right, it's hard to tell exactly what's going on there. I think the crop may be slow to empty but it seems a bit on the upper side of the breast instead of hanging "low".
Is the skin towards the back a bit crusty and yellow like it may have been injured? With her lovely feathers every which way, it's really hard to see isn't it.

I did notice that she had some more feathers missing so I turned her over, she is pretty much bald underneath. And I did see a crusty like sore underneath. I did do the coconut method and she did poop some. She seems to be more alive and on the upside the filled bump on her back has gone down some and she laid an egg tonight which she has not done in about 2 weeks, so maybe she is in on the mend. Thank you so much for feedback. Crossing fingers these are good signs.

She's so cute!

I'm glad she laid an egg. The coconut oil certainly will not hurt, so if you are giving that I'd continue for several days. Massage the crop after giving the oil to see if it feels a bit doughy or impacted.

Hopefully she is on the mend, keep me posted.
