It's known as foul pox and all you can do is keep their water clean and cool. You could also give them some electrolytes...but yeah

Looks like Peck marks.

It’s not fowl pox. Those are peck marks - nothing to be concerned about.

Just a friendly question: how do you tell? Like is there some telltale sign?

Dry fowl pox look like raised warts with black tips. I know that’s pecking of bc I have a flock of 35 so there are plenty of pecking order issues, so I see it all the time.

Hello all. I’m new to the backyard poultry arena. I’m in a very cold area and there are no mosquitoes roaming this time of year. Any thoughts on what it is? Frost bite??
