Fowl Pox?

If it is pox, iodine on the scabs might speed healing.

I just let mine get through it themselves. they all had one day that they clearly didn't feel good at all, then they got better. all of my flock got it. no big deal.

Looks like my two barred rock hens have fowl pox. My question is, I have 6 two week old chicks in a brooder in my garage. Is there anything I need to do to prevent them from getting it from me handling the big girls and taking care of the babies? Obviously I will wash my hands but do I need to like change my clothes or just not handle them? This is our first year with chickens and very first issue. Here's a pic of one of my girls.

Maybe just handle them before you touch the infected ones.

Below are several pictures of growths around the beaks of chickens that may be from a papilloma virus or due to an injury from a sharp object such as a feeder or fencing. The last picture is from a thread where the person reported that it fell off one day on it's own.

U know I put the Vetrycyn on this am and this evening it was actually smaller so I think it is an injury? I just got worried cuz lord I can't afford to loose one! I should prob vaccinate? How many ppl here do that? I never did before? And my flock is very isolated? I only had one bout of it before and lost one chick?
