Dry pox is nothing more than a nuisance virus- it looks aesthetically displeasing for about 3 weeks and then generally heals on its own. Sometimes the virus gets a little aggressive and will produce a secondary infection in the lesions/nodules. To prevent such, a daily cleansing with straight iodine/betadine to the pox would be beneficial. The cleansings will also help to dry the nodules out sooner, and shorten the course of the virus. The virus is spread via mosquitoes, so if you live in an area highly populated by mosquitoes then you may want to look into a vaccine, but once your flock has been infected with the pox they have acquired a partial immunity, meaning they will never become as badly afflicted as they have been at this point. There is also a form of pox called wet pox, which is much more of a problem.
