Fowl pox is spread by mosquitoes and flies, so they wouldn't have to be around them. Here are some pictures of the yellow patches of wet fowl pox in the mouth and throat of chickens:I got some phone numbers today to poultry vets and there is currently an outbreak of fowl pox in my yard but he hasn't been exposed to any of those hens
is there anything I can do to cure them of dry and wet so it doesn't spreadFowl pox is spread by mosquitoes and flies, so they wouldn't have to be around them. Here are some pictures of the yellow patches of wet fowl pox in the mouth and throat of chickens:
I would separate the ones with pox if possible, but pox has to run it's course over 2-3 weeks, and there is no cure. I would put some iodine on the scabs on the outside of the body (don't disturb the scabs,) but remove any yellow patches that you see inside the mouth and aaapply iodine to them also. There is a fowl pox vaccine for those chickens that have not been affected. Are there any scabs around the eyes? If so, I would put some Vetericyn eye gel, Terramycin eye ointment, or plain Neopsorin into the eyes to help prevent an eye infection.
