Looks like dry fowl pox to me. Most of the pics on here have been of wet or wet and dry combo infections. I've had the majority of my flock get dry fowl pox and it looks just like that. Just watch it carefully and keep her separated from the rest to avoid further infection.

That's great news! Hope they all get over it quickly and it remains dry. This has been quite a challenge with wet pox..especially for this newbie chicken keeper. Sheesh. Talk about trial by fire!

Here is my Lucy. She's taking it easy. She's been resting and when I went out to take her picture she refused to open her left eye. However, after taking pictures I picked her up and spoke softly to her and she did manage to get her eye open on her own. Her best buddy, Ethel is on the back...

Kathy, How are you removing the pus from the eyes? With just a qtip? Day before yesterday, I noticed that one of my BA pullets, Lucy, had some pus in her left eye, it was sort of dangling off her upper lid. I was able to remove it thank goodness but it did not want to come easily. This...
