What is this black thing coming out of my pullet’s beak?

Can we ask for one more photo of the "thing" from the front?

BTW- Welcome To BYC!

Yes when I get back home I will take another photo and post. Thanks!​

To me it looks like a similar sore that has been pictured before on BYC over the years. Some think it may be caused a papilloma virus, and some have fallen off eventually. It also could be caused by a scrape or cut on a fence or feeder. No one ever seems to find out for sure. Fowl pox is likely to cause more scabs on the face, comb, or wattles, so if more appear, that could be it. Here are a couple of similar in threads:

Edited to change this term to a possible papilloma, instead of papilloamvirus.

I looked at these posts but the growth looks different than my pullet’s. Hers is black and bumpy like a wart. The others are white and look smoother??

Ok so I am posting several more photos of “the thing” lol...any help appreciated. Elle the buff orp was so gentle and cooperative in letting me open her mouth and take pics! I don’t see anything in her mouth. There was a piece of debris on her tongue but it washed away so it’s not a lesion. Otherwise to my untrained eyes, she looks normal everywhere but on the beak. I also double checked my other chickens and they all look good so far.

Since the rest of her is so healthy looking (no other lesions on her comb or wattles) I suspect this might be from trauma of running her beak through wire. Wonderful photos!

Does not look like fowl pox to me. Let us know if it gets worse or heals over the next 2 - 3 weeks.

Thank you for the help. I hope you’re right! I took the pictures with my iPhone 7.
