Don't know about that. I've read nothing regarding apple cider vinegar being used as treatment, but have read that some had no success with copper sulfate (which you have to be very careful with). From what I read the treatment is metronidazole. Look at this old post. Dawg53 is a good poster...

Well, it doesn't look like pox pics I've seen. I'm not an expert, but if it was me, I would treat for canker. I searched bing for canker, and saw some pics, and I think it could be that. As far as it's water, it is not so much the chicks water, but the community water for the flock. If that...

Kathy is the expert when it comes to pox. I have never seen it in mine, at least not noticeable, or canker for that matter. Is that a bump by the eye and what is under it's beak? Some more pics of those areas might help someone diagnose. Also, are you in a warm climate? I read canker is...

That's strange on the beak. I can see on the connective tissues, but the hard beak? Idk. I read a biotin deficiency can cause plaques on the beak too and thickened foot pads.

I know nothing about pox, but always thought it appeared on the skin, not the beak itself. I'm not saying it's not but, I would look up beak necrosis as a possible alternative also. It could be some kind of fungal thing too. Do you have a vet that deals with birds? You might take one in...

I'm curious. What kind of iodine would you give orally? Is it a special kind or just the dyed stuff you find in drug stores? I always thought that was for external use only.

I'd search cartspony posts on the subject. If you have more chickens, it is possible to stop the spread by vaccinating the rest of your flock right now. Vaccines can be found at poultry supply places online like Jeffers.

If you are worried about hurting them, you really shouldn't. I don't think there is alot of blood vessels in the wing web. I've had many birds tested there in the wing web and then they have this metal id clip practically stapled in that wing web and I never hear a peep out of them when that...

I don't have much experience with Pox, Kathy is the one with that experience, but I have read that it is possible to stop the spread of it throughout your flock if you can get the others vaccinated right away. So, isolating the affected ones is good and advised I would think. You have to make...

Quote: Ugh. Poor thing.

I doubt they would make much of a difference. Probably just depends on where you live. Mosquito population is not high where I live, but we do get some. I think keeping weeds and tall grass down is more effective. Changing out water tubs every three days (before they hatch) is also...

Jmo, but, mosquitoes spread the disease, although the scabs are infectious, so you may not be able to stop the spread, unless you can get rid of mosquitoes. The bird would be away from the flock for a long long time, which wouldn't be good for the bird. If it was me, I would find a pen...

OMG! That looks horrible. I have often wondered if my birds may have a form of dry pox and have often wondered what the wet form was supposed to look like. Thanks for the pics. I can honestly say, I have not seen that in my birds thank goodness. If I have a dry form here, it is very, very mild.
