Hi there,

One of my ducks have this bump or lump thing on one of her wings. Is this a concern?

Last year, she also has the same thing but it went away in the end.

This year, it is more swollen than last year's one. Is this an ingrown feather thing or something else?

I tried some colourless iodine and antibiotics ointment on her bump or lump these past days.

Thank you.

Cheers,
superducks

@Nikomania may know.

@AussieBird do you have any ducks?

No, I don't have ducks, @fashionfobie does though
If it's on her wing it might be a feather cyst, but I don't really know.

The photos make me think it may be a feather cyst. However I don't think the photos are enough to be definitive. It doesn't look infected, but it could become infected so it is good too watch it closely. If you can, I would seek an avian vet to help treat it.

Not sure, although I'm leaning towards a feather cyst as well. Our ducks haven't experienced anything like these.
