I'm thinking it's fowl pox. Chickens get that from mosquitos, I've heard. It's something they just have to get over, sort of like when we get chicken pox. I think it might be good to isolate him from the others, so it does't spread by contact, and if he looks really sore or tender, you can apply some kind of topical ointment to make it feel better, but it has to run it's course.
You could give him an antibiotic in his drinking water if you think the sores might be getting infected. Vitamins and electrolites in the drinking water would be helpful, just to give him a boost and help him get through it.
OH! HE'S A BEAUTIFUL ARAUCANA! I LOVE HIM!
Good luck,
Sharon
