Corzya, Cankers, or What?

[BitterSweetCitrus]

My family and I have four chickens, two Silkie-Ameraucana crosses, a Paint Silkie, and a Lavander Orp. We got our Silkie from a pretty shady breeder as an impulse buy and since have has had problem after problem. When we bought her she had fowl pox, and now she has one nostril that always has discharge and seems a bit closed. Then two days ago we smelled her nostril and it smelled rancid, yet yesterday and today it hasn't smelled since! To add to that, last it seemed like things were stuck in her nose, so we took it out and it was a feather. I'm so confused, angered because we have no idea if she's sick or healthy. She doesn't have any other symptoms and discharge is only from one abnormal nostril.

Can you post some pictures of her nares and eyes up close? I'm a bit unclear on the time line....did you just remove the feather, or was that a while ago and it's still discharging since? Also look in her beak and throat as far back as you can see to see if there is anything abnormal in there. It could be a respiratory virus, or could be infection in the sinus from the feather being lodged there.
