What do/did you treat the fowl pox with? I have used 'iodine' on my hens and I have searched the I-net like crazy for something I can vaccinate my chicks with, to no avail. Most of my hens already have it so I probably won't be able to keep the chicks clear of it, but gotta try. Thanks!

They don't last 24 hrs after I see them ''moping'', they free range in our city lots only. I lost the first one about 2 months after the first treatment with ivermax. I don't keep enough feed to go bad, I purchase a few bags at a time. I have seen rat traces in the hen house, but I use sticky...
