Bump in side of 8 month old pullet’s mouth

[cdeporter]

Could anybody tell me what this bump might be? Maybe an abscess? She is otherwise acting her normal squawky self. She’s 2nd from bottom of the pecking order. Thank you in advance!

Does it wipe away?
Any bad odor or rotten smell?

No. She is fine other than this thickness in her cheek.

Are you asking about the thickness of the sides of her beak.
Do you see lesions inside her beak or the roof of her beak?

Yes - It's a little bit bigger today. The smaller spot you have circled isn't a lesion, it's food or bedding.

But are there lesions inside the beak?

No odors?

No odors or lesions that I am able to see.

She probably got pecked by another hen since she's low in the pecking order.
