Thank you, Wyorp Rock. Will pass this on to my friend. I think I have some Iodine or maybe she does.

Hello again, The chicks have continued to improve, with the Brindle walking again and Amy Winehouse (with eyeliner), the one with a bump on her nose limping less but then after it seemed the fowl pox was healing, Brindle has a horrible new outbreak and some others are looking worse with more...

Thank you, Wyorp Rock! I called our extension office and was told that Fowl Pox is most likely what it is . . . . I appreciate the link. This week I picked up some vaccines per his suggestion but it's spreading within all four chicks so I don't think that would be helpful. We could give it to...

Thanks for the tip on Permethrin - I was going to research what might be best and add that to the list at the feed store. Here are some pictures of his face with the mole-like bumps around his eyes.

We started giving some Goat Nutri-Drench, since the ingredients are almost identical and the brindle one is really liking it! The others have access to a dish of it, too. Thanks, again Shamo. The brindle one is still down and the light-colored one with the bump on her nose is still limping. I...

Thanks, Kneedles, for thinking of protecting them. To be honest, living in Hawaii, I think they would probably laugh at me. A friend mentioned she was talking to a local friend who was describing the magnificence of the hawks in her area as they were catching wild chicks. She then caught a baby...

Thanks, Wyorp Rock. This all sounds like good advice. I'll plan to drive into town to pick up some Poultry Cell and see if I can find my B-Complex in the mean time. Yes, they are about 8 weeks old. I appreciate your help!

Thank you, Aart, for your ideas and questions. We saw some a couple of other odd bumps a few days ago and wondered about them. The one with the nose bump is hanging in there. The brindle rooster is down today and can't walk so I think it's something more serious. I looked at his feet again just...

Thank you, Shamo. I will look up that product. We have what look like a mix of Red Jungle Fowl here, mainly. They are pretty but I can't seem to access pictures of them right now.

Thank you, Barnhart! Interesting about the breed. I just checked their feet -- am glad you asked. The two who are limping have green legs and their left feet look weak, almost withered and curved to the side instead of being straight and pointed towards the ground. I don't think it's an injury...

Hello, Thank you for allowing me to join this forum. I live on a farm in Hawaii and we have wild chicks that were being picked off by a pair of hawks. After loosing half, we caught the remaining four, who are about two months old. Not knowing much about chickens myself, I fed them too much...
