    Fowl pox twice?

    Hi, I’m wondering if it’s possible for a chicken to get fowl pox twice. I posted about my hen last year and today she appears to have another white bump on her beak area. I started giving her black pepper again but I’m wondering if it could be something else. Thank you!

    Is this Fowl pox or from fighting?

    I’m new to chickens and I have 4 roosters that live together. We had been pretty much conned by Tractor supply, so instead of hens we got roosters. I’m a little attached to these guys so I’m not too keen on parting with them unless it’s necessary. My favorite rooster named Bruce, has black...

    Fowl Pox!???

    Do you think this is fowl pox? If so what would you recommend to help?? It's not as noticeable in the pics but there are black bumps on my rooster. In the second pic a white thing developed on his favorite hen. Her eye has only ever opened 1/2 way so that is normal for her. Also, I have chicks...

But I have chicks inside that will be ready to come outside in a couple more weeks. I'm having a hard time finding things on how contagious chickens are after their scabs are gone. I...
