Hi Barrie, I've got a problem with my one year old hen. She has been looking a bit off and hasn't been as talkative as usual. She's just had a major moult and when examining her this morning, I found a long lump (2cm) on her just around her breast bone.It looks like an ingrowing feather to me with blood vessels visible.It's not red but long white things appear in it. Does it sound like a feather cyst to you?What is the treatment? Should I take her to the (expensive) vet or just give it a bit of time first? Thanks for any advice you can give me.
Rosa
