Please if you have an idea of what this is I'm dealing with ,let me know. Only my marans are coming down with this. They don't seem to feel bad at all, just look awful. These don't seem to be 'warts' like pics I've seen of the fowl pox...and their combs are shriveling up! They started this about a month or more ago...not getting worse, but not getting better either. I did lose one maran hen, but she didn't have this that I know of. But she got really lethargic, and just died suddenly after about 2 days. I also had a month old baby chick do the same thing after I put them in the back room of the coop. So far, none of the others are showing signs of being sick...but honestly, I've been afraid to eat their eggs. The brahmas and reds are fine, and the barred rocks seem ok too....but they don't sleep in the same coop as the marans, so maybe not catching it? Also, my maran rooster isn't showing any signs of this on his comb....surely he's not causing this, is he?
