Baby chick with growth on beak...

[courtneyytags]

Hi, I noticed a growth on one of my chicks beaks. So far, this chick is the only one that has it. Anyone have an idea of what it might be? What should I do?

It could be a sign of fowl pox, a virus spread by mosquitoes. It lasts about a month and there is no treatment. I cannot see the pictures clearly enough, but make sure the chick isn’t hurting it’s beak on the chicken wire.
