What we call a canker sore in people is different than canker in chickens... There are a number of different things that can cause sores in a chicken's mouth. If you can you describe how it looks, where it is and if it smells we might be able to narrow down what the issue is. Clear pictures are also very helpful.

I don’t have a picture but I will get one as soon as I can. I looks puffy but it is hard. There is a yellowish black crud in the corner of her mouth right in front of the sore. It doesn’t smell.

Are you in an area with mosquitos? If so it could be wet fowl pox, which chickens just need to get through on their own. Canker usually smells bad.

It could be canker, especially if it stinks and you see some yellowish gunk. Canker is a protozoan infection spread by pigeons and other birds. But occasionally a lesion on the side of the beak can turn out to be a cancerous growth. Can you try to have someone hold her while you get a picture of the inside of the beak? Canker infection can be treated with Aqua Zole (metronidazole,) ronidazole for pigeons, and some use acidified copper sulfate diluted in water.
