Avian pox? Bullying? Something else?

Yes that definitely looks like pox in the beginning. The lesions will go through the changes from white to tan to bloody and then brown or darker. No treatment is necessary, although some do use betadine on the scabs to help them dry up, but not necessary. Any disturbance of the scabs can spread it. Any scabs around eyes can cause eye infection, so it's a good idea to use some antibiotic ointment in the eyes if that happens. Terramycin from feed stores is good, or bacitracin or plain neosporin.

Ok, thank you :)
 
Does anyone know the signs of wet pox? I think I read that they have a lot of nasal and mucus discharge and maybe sneezing. I'm not sure if that's correct. If mine have dry should I worry about it turning into wet? Or is it caused by something entirely different? I can't find very much information online and am a little stressed out with my whole flock being sick. It has spread very fast and now they all have it even though I read it spreads slow. Is this good or bad? I'm hoping it means they will recover faster. Thanks in advance for any help
