I vaccinated the birds that did not show signs of fowl pox and I am still dealing with 2 sick birds in quarantine for fowl pox. I have a friend that wants to rehome her 6 hens because she has retired and wants to travel. The hens are 2 years old. My questions: 1. Since I am having fowl pox...

Its not from fighting. Fowl pox has been running through my flock for the last 4 weeks. I have lost 2 that had both the wet and dry pox. These are the last two that have become infected.

Kathy From experience, if I can get the junk out of her eyes tonight, will it keep coming back for a few days? How long before I should see any improvement or know if she has lost her sight?

thanks. I get off work in a few hours and then I will try to help my girl. Wish me luck. Mom in home during the day, but isn't comfortable using tweezers on her eyes without someone there to hold her head.

The other hen should be well enough to move back in the coop in the next 3-4 days. I am worried if I move her, Shrimp will become depressed. Any suggestions?

The cage is outside in an enclosed shop. We open the door during the day for light. The outside temp is in the high 90's. The shop is shaded and the temp is probably in the mid to high 80's. She is caged with another hen that has the fowl pox. I removed the scabs off the other hen and she is...

I don't have Baytril, but I can check my local feed store. She is eating, but not sure if its enough. I am going to weight her tonight and then daily. Can I force feed with a medicine syringe? How often and how much feed & water do I give her?

Thanks Kathy. I already tried the pressure. I did get a lot out with that method, but a lot still remaisn. I will try again today with a Qtip and then some tweezers. I am sing polysporin on them She fights with me at first, and then becomes very lethargic. She looks pathetic, but I am not giving...

How did you get the white chunks out of the eyes? My little one has it in her eyes real bad. I have removed the scabs and pull out what I could. There is still some thick white stuff in the bottom of the eyelid. Do you think using a Q-tip to dig it out would help? It's the bird on the left. Here...

I know this is an old thread, but Kathy how do you remove the scabs? I have a hen with a scab on her eye lid that need to be removed. I pulled on it last night and it started to bleed. I don't what to rip off her eye lid.
