Canker Treatment, First Time Dealing With It.

[MysteryChicken]

The only other thing that comes to mind is wet fowl pox. However, it doesnt look like wet pox at all. It looks like caked feed.
Q-tips will work. What do you plan to use to scrape it off?

I can use Q-tips to scrape it off too. I don't have much else right now. I'll update you on the removal of the chunky stuff.

The mosquitoes are pretty bad this year, but at least non of my birds have lesions on their combs, or faces. So, pox can be ruled out.

Here's the coop set up.

Could've got a better view of yard, & henhouse, but time was low today.

If it were wet pox, there would be yellow lesions inside the mouth.

It looks suspiciously like caked feed, as I can make out a chunk of corn, which is in chicken feed.

Can you raise the feeder like the waterer? Several pavers or bricks will work. It'll make it easier for your birds to swallow feed.

They're being fed Flock Raiser, so not much corn pieces in that.
They do have a Flock Block which does have corn, but this chick hasn't figured it out yet.

Maybe she finally figured it out but got it stuck all over her mouth instead of eating it?

Maybe I can raise the feeder, but they've been eating on the ground feeder for years. We may have a few spare bricks laying around.

I don't know, she's only been in the bantam coop for about 3-4 days. Her friend which was a silkie died the day we put her into the coop.

Actually, the base of feeders and waterers should be level with their crop.
Here's a pic with elevated feeders on pavers. Waterers arnt in the pic but they are elevated as well.
