Have you tried massaging her esophagus to see if it is a fixed or movable object? If she is acting fine otherwise, I'd let her be and just watch her. If it is blocking the windpipe and your babe is suffering, be kind and put her out of misery. It is harsh, but not knowing exactly what it is and therefor not being able to treat it, it is best not to let it suffer a slow painful death. She may have gotten something stuck in the throat which caused an infection. That would be my guess

Hold on a sec- look up impacted crop! The stuff in the throat almost looks like feed that is in the crop.

Its not removeable ......she had been completly fine until today...i was even going to let her back with the other hens because i couldn't see any problems with her .......but today that has completly changed
Her personality has been the same ...its just her breathing ...and the fact that the lump is bigger ,and smells bad again, eating more then drinking

I read your other post. Did you look at some of the links given? I'm sorry to say it doesn't look good. I hope the experience helps you in the future whether this one makes it or not. Good luck

Looks like it could be thrush(candidiasis,yeast) What medication is she on? Is she taking Flagyl(metronidazole)

I think it's yeast, canker or wet pox. You should be able to remove the pus with tweezers and I believe she will die if you don't.
