    Fowl Pox or something else?

    Definitely no wheezing anymore. Swelling on the side of the head is maybe slightly reduced, hard to say. She can close her beak all the way most of the time now. We're hoping for a recovery still, though it looks to be a slow one!

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    After a lot of research and more observation we're thinking it's wet fowl Pox. There is no rotting odor and she has no other symptoms for canker. She did start wheezing a tiny bit two days ago. She's actually been continuing to eat though she takes a bit longer to drink enough for her...

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    Alright, the swelling on the side of her head has increased. The white caps on the inside affected area (inside the beak, not the eye) keep getting cleared as she eats it seems. The affected area inside is mostly black with the yellow legions except when a white cap builds up, not exactly like...

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    No pus in the eye socket at all. No odor that I can detect but she's real hard to get, I'll try and check her later when she's on the roost. I can start trying to rinse out the areas inside her beak but there is no fluid on the outside of her beak/head.

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    I was able to check inside her beak and it looks normal on the top inside, but the yellow patches have become full white caps now. I'm guessing it's canker? She doesn't open the eye more than a slit due to the swelling, but we were able to gently open it and it looks normal. She doesn't seem to...

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    First presentation was the black/mud scab on the beak about 3-4 weeks ago. The swelling was only noticeable the last 1-2 weeks. The swelling inside the beak has been black/purple the entire time

    Fowl Pox or something else?

    We have a Rhode Island Red or a similar looking mix with scabbing on the side of her right lower beak accompanied by a black swelling inside her lower beak and a swollen right side of her face, causing the right eye to be mostly closed. She isn't acting odd other than basically blind in the one...

    New to BYC with a small old mixed flock

    Hello, I'm glad to join the BYC community! I've been a long time lurker since before we 'inherited' a group of hens that were abandoned one late summer years ago. That group was two white leghorns, a Rhode island red, a gold-laced wyandotte, and a brown Orpington, or near enough to be...
