Lump under beak and between the wattles

Any tablet or capsule can be given directly in the back of the chicken’s throat to swallow. If you are certain they will eat it, it canbe given in scrambled egg, peanut butter, or in canned cat food. I would separate her in a dog crate with her own water and food. Scrub out and disinfect all of your feeders and waterers. Some use acidified copper sulfate 1/4 tsp per gallon of water for 3 days a month to help prevent others from getting canker. It is a contagious and chronic disease though, and some people would cull a bird with canker.

Our chicken didn't make it. After she passed, I sent her to UC Davis to be examined, and here is what UCD came back with.


*The mass in the oropharynx of this hen was a tumor. Histopathology is most compatible with adenocarcinoma and there was bacterial infection overlying the tumor

*There is a large (approximately 2 inches by 2 inches in the oropharynx extending down the esophagus and invading the esophagus. The ovary is inactive. The lungs are slightly wet and pink. The spleen, liver, heart are unremarkable. The kidneys are swollen. The intestines are unremarkable. Sinuses are clear and the trachea lumen is clear. There is a slight film of urates on the liver and the pericardium/epicardium. There is some broken shell in the distal oviduct.

*There are dense bacterial colonies associated with mucosal necrosis in the ceca. The section of the esophagus with the mass is characterized by mucosal epithelial hyperplasia adjacent to ulceration and a mass that has an ulcerated surface with arborous interconnecting branches of epithelium sometimes forming glands in a dense collagenous stroma which extend deep into the underlying tissue. The necrotic mass on the surface is an amorphous caseonecrotic mass with numerous bacterial colonies and necrotic cell debris.
