Canker sores? Please help

[Chickens4572]

hello, recently today i went to check on my flock as usual and i noticed one of my chickens sounded strange. So i picked her up and inspected her, when I open her mouth there are these very scary yellow things in her mouth and there’s a really bad odor coming from it. I have never had this happen before and I’m really scared for her. I saw somewhere that said they could be canker sores but i’m not sure. It kind of sounds like she’s gargling when she breathes and I just don’t know what to do. If someone could please help me it would be so appreciated.

I’m not an expert but look up wet fowl pox. I will tag an expert @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock

Yes, that does look and sound like canker, also called trichomoniasis, a protozoan disease carried by pigeons and other wild birds. It is extremely contagious. Your other chickens may already be exposed. The treatments that can be used include metronidazole (Flagyl,) ronidazole, and acidified copper sulfate 1/4 tsp per gallon of water. The yellow cankers can invade the beak, tongue, throat, esophagus and into the crop wall. I would disinfect all waterers and feeders with 10% bleach water and rinse well. Prevent chickens from drinking out of puddles. Here is some reading:
