Sick chicken

[tmls427]

Has anyone seen this before? We have a call into the Vet, but thought I’d also check here. Thanks in advance!

Is that a scab I'm seeing? Possible abscess.

Canker comes to mind. It also could be a tumor or an abscess. How long have you seen this going on? Someone recently had a thread here with a hen's lesion like that looked like canker, but it turned out to be a malignant tumor unfortunately. Metronidazole (Fish Zole, Flagyl) is the usual treatment. Pigeons carry canker.

Here is the thread with the chicken who had a tumor that resembled canker:

Can your bird eat/drink?
Can you see the tongue?

Is it possible your bird ate/got stung by a a bee? It could be canker or a tumor, but your photos remind me of these 2 threads as well - I don't think it was ever determined exactly what the cause was, but a sting, bite or some sort of allergic reaction was suspected.

Hopefully your vet can give you more information - please keep us posted.

After Wyorp Rock's suggestion of a profoundly swollen tongue, I would think that could be a real possibility. Does itseem to be part of the tongue? I would try some benadril, maybe 1/2 of a 25mg tablet crushed and given orally once if possible, to see if it goes down. If a vet is possible, I would take her in. Oh yes, and welcome to BYC.
