Sorry only pic i have ATM as im in Iowa working nights and my wife is back home in Texas. I bought 10 White Leghorn Poults from Ideal Poultry about 8-9 weeks ago. I video msg my wife on fb to check on things around the house every cpl days. Couple days ago all chicks looked fine then today before i went into work she sends me this pic. Said others dont look near as bad but do have tiny bumps. She said this one looks the worst. Is this wet pox?

my chickens looked different when they had pox. if there is an avian vet ask him. maybe more photos will help.

I hope someone else more experienced will see your post.

@casportpony are you here?

Possibly a peck wound at the top of the eye. Looks like the eye may have been pecked too?
Eye looks like it is infected and has a discharge either from being pecked or possible respiratory infection.

Wash the eye with saline and clean out any pus. Apply some vetericyn eye gel or terramycin eye ointment.

these look like dry pox but it seems you have other issues as well.

I would use baytril instead of tylan as it covers more diseases. tylan is good for MG but your chickens might have other bacteria as well. put some antibiotic ointment in their eyes so they don't get infected. I used tobradex, but any would do.
