I strongly suggest you look into pigeons. They are VERY prone to this canker, it's an ongoing battle, and there are a lot of treatments for them, including vaccines. Join a pigeon list and ask for help. Look for info on the net.
By the way, to tell the truth, I think you should kill the chickens, dispose of them, thoroughly clean their living area and start over. You can get sick yourself from this canker. It's a growth like a cancer, and it's catching. Pigeons, and chickens, like other birds, don't have the same lungs you do. They have air sacs all over their body and in their wings, the harder they fly, the more air they get. So they can get this canker all over inside their bodies, not just in the mouth and throat. And the spores are in their droppings. People can get it when they clean the coop, especially from dry droppings dust. Pigeon people wear a mask to do cleaning, and even then lung problems are well known and very common.
I'm sure this is not what you want to hear, but it's the truth. Sometimes you just have to make a break and start over.
With best wishes and sympathy,
Diane S.

oh yes I know... I am going to figure out w/ twin state what they think I should try next, the 4 in 1 or perhaps the med suggested by the other group member (Marlene?).
Thank you for your time!!
