no, freeranging has nothing to do with it.

I don't vaccinate either but I don't hatch alot. I have had some hardly show spots and others eyes swell shut and they quit eating....all next to each other. The boost in nutrition certainly can't hurt anything.

Mine had the version last year that was just the moldy looking patches on the comb and wattles. This year the new birds had a more horrid version, but still a dry version. THey had lumps on their beaks and legs. If the bump on the beak was picked off or got knocked off it left a hole...

That goes contrary to what all other info says. Do you know where she got that from?

No it kinda acts like people pox. Once it's gone it's over.

I've read it spreads not only by mosquitos but also by scabs (or something) dropping from infected birds. For me, surrounded by swampy land, it is a moot point as the mosquitos are horrendous this year.

Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

THanks Dawg! I was hoping you were around. My knowledge of cocci is only from reading...thank goodness.

Do they have signs of it? Or just dying?

THis is just my outlook on fowl pox. I am in a wet area in North Florida (there is swampy land adjacent to mine) and there are mosquitos and I cannot do anything to get rid of them so I don't do anything to prevent fowl pox in my flock. I take my chances. I have been fortunate so far that none...

WOW! That is a full blown case for sure. I think it is pox. Poor things. Dry pox you really don't have to do anything...and this looks like that. Some put antibiotic cream or iodine on the spots but I just leave them be. This version here is the least bothersome for them it seems. My oldest had...
