I apologize for not posting these as soon as I said I would.
This is my bantam when she first had her runny left eye and wasn't feeling well, due to the avian pox. She had a couple of huge lesions swell up beside her left nostril, shown in the pic. It blocked her nostril for a few days, and looked awful. I didn't get any pics of her at her worst.
And this is her from 2 days ago. The spots are still large, round bumps, but the scabs have come off most of them and the skin is looking normal underneath. I need to try to get a picture on her other side at the same angle as the other picture, so you can see the progress of those lesions. Her left nostril isn't blocked now, but the area just above her beak, under the nostril, is still quite large.
I will try to get some pictures of the lesions on my 2 full-size hens. They refused to cooperate the other night! lol
Anyway I hope these help. If anyone else has avian pox pics, please post them in this thread. I think the mosquitoes are especially bad this year in some areas, and this problem is probably going to be widespread.
