    Fowlpox?

    I noticed a spot appear on my Roo's comb a few days ago that I initially thought looked like a wound, but now I've found what looks to be a few small scabs on his comb and waddle. I was able to get a few good pics of his comb and waddle. Does this look like it could be Fowlpox or something...

    Fowlpox Vaccine Question

    I haven't found a clear answer to this one. Our baby chickens (b. June 17, 2023) appear to have fowlpox. Older chickens have either had it before or have been vaccinated. Only three of the 18 babies have lesions at this point, but since everyone is together, it is safe to assume everyone is...

We put some iodine on it...

    Yellow/white blisters appearing on chicken waddles

    This morning when I let the ladies out, I noticed at least two of them had soft yellow blisters on their waddles. They’re soft and not scabby, and are much worse on the inward facing sides.
