You got a really good shot - that's helpful. So it appears to be dry pox. You are doing a great thing with the colloidal silver - keep doing that! And yes, if she's getting pecked at, then isolate her. Keep on with salves, and the special treats you mentioned just to make her more...

Pam - Try one of the things I mentioned. They can even feel bad from it and get lethargic, perhaps not even lay until they feel better. And I know it can look really bad ~ it can even cause permanent scarring (just like on humans). However, dry pox can generally be managed. It's wet pox...

Pam's chicks ~ Photo is definitely fowl pox. I've used several "remedies", but truly it just runs its course. Just to keep it from scabbing too much, you can use a number of things - rooster booster (has aloe vera and tea tree oil in it), Vetericyn (I know it's an ophthalmic gel, but local...

As the mosquito season is literally "on" us, I think it's fine to spray them quite often. I'm sure a mosquito net would help, but those critters are out during the day as well, so to keep it entirely managed, might be a bit difficult. One of my little girls (18 weeks old) just broke out...

I realized that I wrote on this thread a year ago when my chickens came down with dry pox. Actually, I think a couple of them had wet pox. We live in the Houston area and have lots of creeks and trees around us, so do we EVER have mosquitoes!!!! Here's what I've done: I put a fan in the...

FamilyOMiller - from all I've been reading, that certainly doesn't sound like pox. I pray that you find an answer quickly! I also wonder about eating the eggs though from a definitive case of pox. The manufacturer of the vaccine says to not innoculate during egg production. Are they just...

Yes, I brought 2 of the birds home, and gave 3 to a neighbor. Each of us has the new birds quarantined away from our other flock. We are taking precautions to not handle birds without washing in-between flock care. They are happily laying eggs!

I feel so bad for Jescee77 and the flock! It almost looks painful! CMV - I know you don't innoculate. I don't get my kids' vaccines, and here I am thinking about doing this to my chickens! But I'm SOOO concerned because of the amount of mosquitos we have. I just read another thread with...

I just found some abandoned chickens at the neighborhood park. Some of them had combs that showed definite signs of fowl pox. Due to recent flooding in our area, we are inundated with mosquitos!!! My birds are 23 weeks old and just started laying. This brings me to several questions: 1...
