One of my 8 week old Buff Orpingtons has a small raised bump just above her eye, started on Feb 28th, eating and acting like it’s not bothering her, feathers are starting to fill in in her head, what could the bump be? could it be an ingrown feather possibly?

It could be a cyst, a peck wound abscess, or an ingrown feather. Hard to know for sure without exploring it. I would be tempted to watch it to see if it grows or feels different from now. Is it hard, soft, or firm? Do you see a peck mark on it?
