Blister on Wattle Fowlpox?

[tanchick]

Hi guys
Posting here to see if anyone can help diagnose

I noticed today a blister on my hens wattle. She’s otherwise acting her normal self and it isn’t a peck wound as I only have 1 other hen and they’re kept separate.

She does have other diagnosed health issues such as arthritis and high Uric acid.

Current U.K. weather is on and off rain in between spells of sun. Temperature ranging from 21-10 degrees Celsius, (doubt it could be frostbite)?

She’s kept indoors due to her arthritis. She drinks water from something standing height where her wattles do dip in there.

Has anyone seen blisters like this? I have veticyrn at home I could apply as well as manuka honey but toying between what would be best. I don’t want it to become infected.

She didn’t have it first thing in the morning, I left her outside for a bit and now noticed it so I’m wondering if it’s an insect bite. Hopefully not a mosquito one as I really don’t want it to turn into fowl pox.

She’s not laying as she has the implant and is currently going through a soft moult because of it.

Any help appreciated!
Thanks

EDIT:
Have noticed on her other wattle a very small scab/blister as well. Attached photos

How's it looking now?

The next day she developed a few more on the same wattle but very small and turning scab like already. Now 8 days later they’re all pretty much gone. So I’m unsure what it was apart from I had her on a Glucosamine supplement plant based for her arthritis I was trialling. I was about 10 days in (on and off) when the blisters popped up so I’m wondering if it was that.

Taken her off them now just in case it was a weird side effect

Glad they're gone now! I say it was probably fowl pox, I don't think the supplement would cause that, but who knows.

I’ve attached a photo of what it looked like the next day, slightly scabby. And another photo from just now, you can see where they were
slightly
but not scabby anymore. The scabs went yellow immediately but I have no experience with fowl pox so no clue if it was indeed that.

I do think it was fowl pox, never seen blisters from it, but I don't know what else it would be.
