    Possible Fowl Pox (Duck)

    I'm not exactly sure what this is, but it's a dark, raised lump on my Pekin drake's bill. I'm wondering if it might be the start of Fowl Pox. It just showed up recently. Any ideas?

    Black dots on Rooster

    Is my Bantam Rooster okay? He has black dots on his crown and waddle. It looks like black scabs maybe? Maybe sure it isn't fowl pox!
