Hi, I have never had CRD in my flock, so I really don't know. I do know that chickens can sneeze and it be nothing, as in not a disease or illness. A single sneeze or two that stops is not worrisome. If you hear it often, then you might need to concern yourself a bit. With respiratory issues...

I know you wouldn't want to separate her, but that can be a big mistake if a chicken has something contagious. Wet Pox is one of those things. I did not separate my dry pox chickens as that is mostly spread by biting insects, but with Wet Pox it can spread as they drink water. Wet Pox creates a...

I have not had any other problems since then with the Pox. If I were you, I would separate your hen and put her in a smaller space where you can watch her. If she has wet pox, she can infect the other chickens. So get her away from the rest of the flock. I would add a little Oxine to the...

I believe they can have both at the same time. I think my Cochin did. She had the spots on the comb, then later developed the eye bubbles. If I understand correctly they are two different strains... wet pox can spread through the water, while the dry pox is passed mostly through the bites of the...

Updating the thread... Good news and bad news. First, the good news... My Silkie with the bad sores over her eyes has healed well and has gone back to be with the flock. She began eating very well and after a good inspection, I was happy to take her back to the flock of whites. Here are the...

I have had many Vetericyn products (got them for our cow and also used some on us). On some of the other products it said it was safe to use in the eye etc. So when this happened, I just grabbed the Wound Care Spray which was the one handy and sprayed it right into my Cochin's eye. After the...

I wanted to add some pictures of my Dry Pox patient... that had the terrible swollen eye. Today, for the first time, she has been able to keep that eye open a little bit. My Mom was able to get the sore off, the big one and it allowed her to open her eye a bit. She still looks fairly miserable...

Thank you... I try my best to take good care of them!

Adding an update... The outer sores on my White Silkie with the Wet Pox are really drying up. Top one... Side Inside the mouth the bumpy sores are flatter now. I tried to remove them with the Q-tip, thinking that this might be like my Cochin's, but it was more like skin formed over...

My Wet Pox Silkie is still acting totally normal and wants back to the flock. I'm keeping her separated though since I know Wet Pox can be passed through the water. My Cochin is acting much better, but she does have bubbles coming out of the corner of her eye. I decided to give her the...

Thanks... I don't have a vet for my chickens, but maybe I can find someone to talk to about it. Thanks for sharing!

This is another Silkie I found today that I think has true Wet Pox. The lesions are more like a little hardened cysts maybe. I scraped it off, but it felt like I was popping a pimple or pushing it out. On my Cochin, it was not round, but really, really flat and thin, like a layer of skin that...

You mean for the reason you vaccinated or if you will vaccinate next year? Are you going to repeat do you think?

I have Oxine in the water. I thought of misting them too. I will try that. I may also have a bug zapper I can put out there if it's still working. I'll try anything to end this sooner! :) Still unsure about the vaccine since I've read you need to give it to them every year and it will be hard to...

Thanks... I did realize it would not help the Pox, but the eye looked so bad, almost like infection that I thought it wouldn't hurt in this case to give it to just the two that looked bad. I did not give it to the whole flock. Today I found another Silkie with two sores on the beak... looked...

I have had dry pox in the flock the last few weeks. But they were all doing really well. Then my sweet Cochin was found in the coop, with a closed, pasty eye. She had not eaten. None of the others had their eye sealed shut. I looked in her beak and thought I saw a lesion. It was very flat on the...
