Thank You for the number! I definitely will! I need to peek over the wall the make sure it is still not cleaned up first, I heard someone over there making a bunch of noise today so maybe they were taking care of it!
I also have pox going through my flock. 3 had just dry pox and 2 had wet pox. one of those two died before I figured out what was going on. I only saw scabs until I looked in her mouth, then I saw all the white stuff. I scraped out as much as I could without hurting her and it helped a lot! Also...
