Hi, I have a bird on 15 day youngsters. He has a yellow lump size of a pea on the side of his keel. Can you tell me what this might be and what to do for it? Thank you

Hello,
It is difficult to give an answer to your question without seeing it but I’ll give it a try. I think this could be a benign tumor called xanthoma.This is a sort of fat tumour.It can be taken away surgically without complications when it causes trouble to the bird.
Kind regards
