Early Canker?

Acidified copper sulfate should be used in a non-metal waterer.
Thanks, I only have plastic waters right now and one ceramic, that's fine?
I'll be getting the ACV tomorrow and make up the water in the evening. I have to make it up fresh daily I'm assuming?
 
I'm starting to seriously question if this is canker.
I've been going through figuring out which chickens are showing anything in there mouths. I honestly have not noticed a smell at all, yet.
And this is the hen from the first post. This looks nothing like the original hen who I culled.
Does anyone think it's likely this is actually thrush?

Have you seen any fowl pox over the last 6 months or used any antibiotics which could have caused wet pox or a yeast infection? Canker seems to always cause a foul odor from the beak, from what I understand. Have you tried to remove any of the material from the beak with a QTip in case it is food? In case it has not been mentioned yet, be sure to disinfect your feeders and waterers, and separate the ones with suspected canker.

No fowl pox that I have noticed. No antibiotics. I've even had someone else confirm the above hen has no odor.
I have seperated two hens currently and am working on setting up a few more isolation pens.
I am beyond baffled as those picture were from yesterday afternoon, this is the her this morning.

The rooster from the original post is the same.

This is one of the hens I've isolated because of these two spots on her upper beak.

I have no idea if there is canker AND something else going on.
I will be disinfecting waterer today as well as separating any others I suspect. But at this point half my suspicions have just gone backwards and I'm lost as to who is a risk and who is not.
