Hopefully you can get your flock through this difficult time with Pox.Thank you everyone! I kept coming here to look at the forum for other information so I figured I should probably just join. LOL.
This is my current coop and run setup on our property.

I currently have a fowl pox outbreak going on with my hens.
I've been watching them, putting iodine on the sores.
Vitamins in the water. It's currently dry pox, but I'm watching closely for any signs of it moving to wet pox.
I have antibiotics handy just in case.
At first I just thought it was because I had a bully in the coop. Before I actually realized what it was... they all had the sores on their combs and wattles.
I panicked, hard core, then dove head first into research and finding out as much as I could about it.
Raising chickens really is a learning curve. There is SO much that goes into it. So much you have to know.
