What is this huge bump?

It was expensive but we raised two to 25 lbs dressed.....my family eats a ton of food and we still only ate one half of one breast in one meal. One wing served as my lunch at work the next day.

Eta....they were 25 lbs total, not each.

12 pounders-- that sounds yummy.

OP, thank you for starting this thread. HOnestly I was a little panicked as I was fully expecting my tiny CX to grow a horrible tumor. Glad to know its to be fully expected and quite normal for these little pigs. DS mentioned today how full the crop was today, and they are just 3 days old!

I'm not sure I'm ready for this!!

Thanks for the laugh and the heads up!!

The first time I saw that on my meat bird I freaked out too, you're not alone! Lol
