Hello everyone, I have a 2 year old bantam hen who seems to be displaying symptoms of a possible reproductive infection. However, yesterday I noticed she had a hard mass in her nostril. I loosened it with warm water and it came out whole. I've been reading and some say that it's canker so I'm wondering what could possibly be affecting her health. Her symptoms include: lethargy, lack of appetite, penguin like position, and no egg production. She isn't egg bound either.

The symptoms you describe sound like a hen with a reproduction problem as you have mentioned.
When was her last egg? You can try to give her Calcium to see if that helps.
Give 1 Calcium Citrate+D3 tablet once daily for a week.

Is she pooping? Have you dewormed?
Do you have antibiotics on hand?

The clogged nostril may have been coincidental(?). Could have been caked feed/debris built up in the nostril.
Was there a bad odor or mucous/drainage coming from the nostril?
Any signs of lesions, mucous, white or yellow pasty material inside the beak?

Thank you! Her last egg was about 3 weeks ago. Her poop is greenish/ watery (I'll post a picture of it tomorrow) and she was dewormed 3 months ago. No smelly odor. I need to check inside her beak. I think the clogged nostril might've been build up as you stated.
