Hello ! So i have a year old guinea, truthfully i don’t know if its a hen or not, and noticed that she’s not acting right. While giving the flock some fruit i noticed she would walk and then put her head down. They usually never let me grab them so i was really surprised when she let herself be picked up to check her. No external injuries, except for some pecking at her face. None of our other chickens and guineas are acting off. She isn’t eating or drinking so i gave her flock leader 911. I checked her mouth and found this suspicious white-greyish spot. i do live in florida and it has been getting hotter so could it possibly be fowl pox ? I’d appreciate any and all advice. :)

she seems to be getting worse. Here’s a link, she has started to open her mouth and extend her head forward. If anyone has guinea or just anything i could try to do please let me know thank you.
 
Could it be gapeworm?
hi sorry for such a late response, but just incase anyone has the same problem and looking for answers. Ours was just , we’re assuming, going through heat distress. Gave her flock leader 911 in her water and a syringe every hour and she got better. We had also dewormed them the month prior. She’s doing way better now and we haven’t had any issues with her since thankfully. Thank you for your help either way :)
