    First time dealing with wet pox

    Help! One of our girls has what once was dry pox and is, as of today, wet pox. The pox on her left eye is not a dry scab anymore but lots of liquid is building up in the eye and she can't see out of it. How do I treat it? Iodine is one solution I found plus anti-bacterial spray or Neosporin (not...

    Fowl Pox: To cull or not to cull?

    It seems to be mosquito season for so many this time of year, which has led me down a fowl pox rabbit hole. I've read dozens of articles about the virus and the vaccine and protecting your flock. The articles seem to skip over what happens to birds that are already/currently infected. Wet pox...

    Vaccination for Fowl Pox

    I live in central Arkansas in a densely wooded area. No matter how much we have battled the woods I feel like the mosquitoes are getting worse every year. I get torn up by them anytime I’m around the coop (or anywhere on the property actually) and I’m worried about my chickens getting Fowl...

    Fowl Pox or Pecking?

    Hello! We have a 6 month old barred rock pullet we have been getting ready for county fair. We have kept her separate from the main flock in a small backyard coop with a few other show chickens, I went today to further examine her, bathe her, and keep her alone for show but I need help...

    Is this Fowl Pox?!?!

    I was admiring my chickens finally finding the other side of our yard and then saw a spot on my largest males waddles and another on a female. Turns out the females comb had an injury so that made me less worried but I’ve never seen this before. His waddles are admired daily by us but we don’t...

    Possible fowl pox?

    Hi, I've noticed my hen's comb has partially fallen over and I'm wondering if it's down to potential dehydration or fowl pox. I've noticed she has a few round marks on the tips but nowhere else. She's currently weaning her 5 weeks off her and is particularly angsty and aggressive currently.

    Fowl Pox? Tumor? Growth appearing on side of head/beak

    We have been out of town on vacation since 7/9/21 (today is the 18th) - that morning I did my final checks of the chicken coops (two coops - one holding 7 hens, the one in question lives here, who are about 1 year and 5 months old. The other coop has 5 hens who were born in March) and everything...

    Lesions in hen’s mouth - canker, pox?

    Hi - I noticed two lesions in the mouth of my one year old buff Orpington hen 12 days ago. I took her to the vet as soon as I could, two days after noticing the lesions. The vet is not a chicken specialist but he does see chicken patients fairly often. I told him my concerns of canker and pox...

    Hen is wheezing and rattling, small black scab in throat. Fowl pox or something else?

    When I got home from work today to let my chickens out I noticed Lucky wheezing as she was running with the flock. She was clearly having a hard time breathing, slightly stretching her neck out with her mouth opened. Tonight I was able to grab her to look into her mouth and throat. When holding...

    Help! Sick chicken!

    Please help! My barred rock is very listless and lethargic. She’s just standing around. Isn’t eating or drinking. A few people on here confirmed that she does have fowl pox, but she seems to be doing pretty bad. I did see a little yellow dot in her mouth so thinking it may be wet pox. I have her...

    Young turkeys with dry fowl pox and mycoplasma at the same time

    I have turkeys that are probably around 2 months old. We have some older ones (same breed) that got the fowl pox around that age but they were/are fine, they are just now getting the mycoplasma somehow. But the 2 month old ones are a completely different story than the older ones. These guys got...

    Need help with Showgirl Silkie- bumps on neck

    Has anyone seen these bumps before on your showgirls? They just appeared over the last week. One, then three, then more, I don’t think they are mites, as my other showgirl doesn’t have these bumps and I do not see other signs of mites like dried blood. I’m hoping it’s not lymphoid leukosis, but...

    4-week chicks with severe fowl pox (PLEASE HELP)

    3 weeks ago, I noticed a small bump on one of their eyes. Since then, all of them have developed massive lesions of some kind, which have scabbed over, and are continuing to pop up (it seems to have spread from just their faces to their feet, now). It looks awful and I'm really concerned...

    Is this Fowl Pox?

    Your expert opinions would be much appreciated! Our little French Wheaten pullet has black things on her face. At first I thought she might have hurt herself or maybe got pecked by the others, but it seems to be getting worse now. Can you guys please take a look at the pics? Do you think it...

    How to soften fowlpox scabs

    Hello again, My little chicken is still hanging in there. After surviving fowlpox, most scabs have fallen off but she still carries these 2 pesky ones on her beak. I think they have weakened her beak because recently the front part of the upper beak fell off. Yikes!!! I'm worried that the rest...
