Yes. I am in a tropical location so fowl pox are very probable. We have constant mosquitoes. These chicks are quarantined and my actual flock is vaccinated for fowl pox and a few other diseases. I am just trying to help a friend get to the bottom of the issue.
I cant figure out which I have! I recieved chicks from a friend. They itch like crazy and squeal when they itch their eyes BUT they also occasionally have a little sneeze. They are too young for me to see if there is a worm(s) in their eyes. I have tried a few times. When I tried to clean up...
