large 'pimple' at base of tail feathers

Recommended Posts

Hi. We just lost one of our hens to an undefined, but dramatic illness (I'm guessing it was cancer or septic peritonitis) and a few weeks ago, before she got really poorly, we noticed a large 'pimple' on her back at the base of her tail feathers. We didn't do anything about it, and in a few days it was gone. However, we have one remaining hen, and have just noticed the same kind of protrusion on her back, at the base of her tail feathers. I'm wondering if this was an early symptom that we missed, and if it was, what is it a symptom of and what can I do about it? :shock:
