Just noticed this on an almost 10 week old pullet’s beak. Could this be an abscess?
She looks a bit pale too (but also hard for me to tell because she hasn’t started to pink up yet). Eating, drinking, keeping up with the flock.
Any insight is appreciated

Probably a sore or something from sticking the beak through fencing or catching it on a feeder. I'd just watch the area and see if it heals up.

What is the white smears on the beak? Looks like paint LOL

What is this breed?

Pullets can be quite pale, if she's eating/drinking, active and growing, I wouldn't worry too much at this time.
