Dry Pox, bad case

[Lillianellis]

What can I do to help this hen? Dry pox is going through my whole flock, but she’s the worst it’s gotten I think because she’s been broody.

You don’t want to disturb the scabs too much, since that can spread the pox, but you may need to clean her eyes with saline, open them, and apply a small dab of either Terramycin eye ointment from a feed store or plain Neosporin into her eyes twice a day. Guide her to food and water several times a day or hold it up to her beak. Watery feed and egg can be good, and the water in the feed will increase her fluids. Look for any yellow plaques or material inside her beak that can be wet pox lesions. Painting her scabs not close to eyes with povidone iodine (Betadine10%) can help dry them up. Pox lasts about a month, and most recover if they keep eating and drinking. Here is some reading about pox:
