Does my chicken have fowl pox?

[Balaw_chicks]

My mom went to our local feed store and asked if there is anything they have for fowl pox. They gave her small tablets and said it should be dissolved in water. I asked what is the name of the tablet but she said she forgot to ask the store what it was called. I then looked at the tablet and it says mothyl at the back. I attached a picture of it. Perhaps does anyone recognize this? I tried to search it and only a facebook post came up that says its for the prevention and treatment for fowl pox.

How are you administering that?
It's Thymol from what I understand.

Well the store owner said to dilute 7 tablets in 1 liter of water.
Ive also seen a facebook post saying 25 tablets to 1 gallon and the tablet itself once everyday for adult chickens.

Its been a long time but I just want to post an update.

Hi, im new to BYC. Recently, my broiler chicken (he’s already 4 months old) have some black dark spots growing on its comb. I just want to confirm if its really fowl pox or not. i was just kinda worried because i just lost 7 chicks because of it. I also attached some pictures.
View attachment 3042884

This broiler chicken fully recovered for like 2 weeks ago but we decided to butcher it last sunday because i fear they might die as they get older. (he actually has a sister and her sister didnt get any fowl pox but they were butchered together)

Its still on the early stage so its not that bad but i fear its ultimately going to lead to a worser one. Here are the photos. Those are 3 different chicks. Im noticing some have it on the side of their beaks and some have something on their comb as well. Do you think i could do anything to prevent this from even getting bad?

The 3 chicks i posted on this one has all died. 2 of them just died today. It was very sad. But the bumps were already covering their whole face so i kinda knew they wouldn't make it.

This is currently what one of my chicks look like. It has grown over his beak first and it has gotten bigger ever since ( its beak got dirty because it flew off while i was trying to grab its sibling and it was raining hard yesterday so it had scratched for sometime and i had to chase him after lol) but despite the big bump on his beak, its still very healthy so im kinda worried if i see him the next day being lethargic. It has also grown something near its comb and its also getting bigger. I started last thrusday applying iodine on him so its almost been 1 week now.

I have also counted and i have 17 chicks who are currently having fowl pox right now With some that doesnt really have high chances of living. Perhaps is there any signs that fowl pox is getting better?

The chick that i posted on this one has also died a few days ago. The bump on its beak didnt stop on growing and it has gotten really huge that it couldn't close its mouth anymore.

I’m so sorry they didn’t make it :-( Fowl pox really sucks :-( I hope you are thru the worst of it now
