I experienced wet Pox last summer it was tragic. I looked it up and there is literally no cure but to try to boost their immune system. I thought it was canker at first but there was yellow balls of plaque strewn down yhe back of their throat and chunks growing in their air holes. We pulled the...
Hi everybody
*Please see attached photos* :( :(
I have an Easter Egger that is about 2-3 years old. She recently came down with a bad case of canker...or pox (wet or dry?) and I am new to these diseases...I have isolated her from the other chickens.
She has a horribly disfiguring lesion(?) on...
Merry (early) Christmas.
We're new here to the forum and relatively new to owning chickens as well. For the past 9 months we've had almost no problems at all but recently we've noticed a few spots on some of the girl's combs. We've already poked around in the forums and see we're hardly the...
My laying hen Mini had some grayish spots on her comb this morning when I checked on her and the other chickens.

Has anyone else in Denver had a problem with pox this year (or any time)?
Should I call CSU to talk to one of their vets?
Anyone...
I rescued a Cornish cross rooster yesterday and when I asked the previous owner about the black marks on his comb, she said it might have been from the other birds picking on him..he is 14 weeks old and HUGE! I've been so paranoid about keeping my flock disease free, I'm just wondering if what...
