Yesterday I noticed a white spot on the base of my hen’s comb. I’ve noticed a few other darkish scabs which could just be scratches. If anyone could give me some advice on if it is or isn’t Fowl Pox and how to cure it, that would be amazing.
I put some pictures down below. Please help!
i have a Sussex chick that’s about 7 weeks old. I got her with a group of other chicks and one of them was sick with respiratory issues and eventually developed swollen eyes. The Sussex doesn’t have the respiratory issues like the other bird but she’s been lethargic for a week and all of the...
My turkey hen has developed a swollen sore yesterday, this morning she has a few new ones. I am not sure if these are fowl pox sores or if this is histomoniasis related. Please help, I would like to know what else other than vitamins, probiotics and iodine on sores I can do to help. TIA
Today I went to the feed store to buy fowl pox vaccine for our turkey poults. The label says it is for Pigeon Pox. Is that the same as fowl pox?
Also, the directions say it can be given to chickens between 4 and 16 weeks of age. Does that also apply to turkeys?
And how long do they need...
I live in an area that doesn't have very many "farm animal" vets, closest we come is an exotic animal vet. Does anyone recognize this? What is it? What do I do? Is it contagious? She is staying in her nesting box...but she's often broody, so that's hard to determine if it is a symptom or...
Hey all,
I have three hens - 1 polish, 1 red sex link, 1 Black sex link. We’ve been battling a bad case of mites since January on and off. Because it’s still cold here (Illinois) I’ve been using Prozap garden and poultry dust with permethrin. I was able to use a mite spray last week when it...
I have heard that this may be just because she is broody but I am on who likes to have multiple opinion so take a look at this photo and tell me what you think. It appeared very quickly but does not appear to have any affect on her.
Hey everyone! This is my first flock and 3/4 of them have flow pox. I just noticed the lesions yesterday. I did a good deep cleaning on my coops, waters, etc. I used DE all over. I have separated the infected ones from the noninfected. My question is, do I have to do that or are they all goi g...
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?

frankie, our 4 month old naked neck pullet starting being slightly solitary and lethargic a couple days ago, standing around with ruffled feathers. She seems to be eating and drinking and occasionally scratches at the ground with the others. But I noticed these bumps on her neck and one spot on...
One of our EE showed up with a bunch of Chicks, just as we were starting our battle with fowl pox. Now 3 out of the 5 chicks have sores covering both of their eyes and protruding into their mouths. We have them and mama separated from the rest of the flock who got over it quickly. Mama is in bad...
A few days ago I noticed some spots on Dagny's comb. She is a three year old Barred Rock hen. I thought they were dirt but they didn't rub off. There was also a tiny cut on her wattles and one on her earlobe, all on the same side of her head, that have now scabbed over and turned black. I've...

I have a few questions about fowl pox.
What can I do about it?
How long does it take for it to clear up by itself?
All my chickens have it. But one of them has a completely closed left eye, and it's pussy. What?
Please post any tips or stuff you know for me. Even if I haven't asked about it. I...
