Oh no! That does look like fowl pox. My flock has it also. I have been told there is not treatment besides letting it run it's course and some eye drops and cream for scabs.

My flock has fowl pox. I have another thread about it but no one is answering my most recent questions.
2 hens who have bad fowl pox have their nostrils closing up from the swelling and bumps. Will they still be able to breath soon? :-(
Also it is wet fowl pox and one hen has "cheesy things"...
Leave the cage outside with food, water, and treats in it with the door open. Make sure it is near a spot where you can look through a window to see if he/she is in there so you can run outside and shut the door.
If he/she is alive you need to let the people around you know so they can look for...
Hi! :welcome
He is a pretty roo!
Where are you located? State and if you want city.
How many?
How old are they?
Where did you get them? Breeder, hatchery, feed store?
:)
The hen with the worst fowl pox has lots of "cheesies" but they are not as loose as the other hen I got the "cheesies" out of. Why?
This same hen who has fowl pox all over her head has her nostrils shrinking. The fowl pox has shrunk them into very small slits. Will she be able to breath soon...
