Help- Wart like bumps around my hens beek?

[Chicklalette]

I noticed in the last couple of days, wart like bumps - red and raised and they have bleed a little- around the corners of my Buff Orpington's mouth and beak. Can any one help me out as to what this could be? The bumps are on the bottom part around the corners of her beek
She seems to be a bit on the lethargic side - but Florence - that is her name - has always been on the bit layed back side.

Thank you for your help.

Might be Poxs.

It is one way the fowl pox can manifest itself...so it is a possiblity.

Since it is a virus, there is nothing you can do to treat it. You could up their protein for a couple of weeks, I don't know if it will help with anything, but it won't hurt either. Keep checking inside beaks and throat to make sure not wet pox, it can swell throat and stop breathing and eating.

I have not checked in their beaks yet will do first thing tomorrow. Will it look the same as the black spots?

They will look like a wart with redish/black tops i think inside the mouth. Mine just had dry pox, just sores on wattles and comb and a couple on edge of beak where comb is.
