I have a 3 month old Buff Orpington whose eye and face look horrible. Possible peck injury from others? Maybe hardware scratch but we are very careful. I have 16 hens and 3 roosters.
Any idea if this is an injury or illness? So far all others look great.
Any input would be helpful.
Thank you.

I agree it does look like it could be pox you're dealing with.

How long ago did this happen or how long has it been looking like this?
 
One more question... Did all of your birds come together from one place at one time or did you get birds from different places at different times?

I just noticed it today. Her eye was closed and kinda foamy. When I picked her up a scab type piece fell off that was near her eye. Her face looks irritated to me. Almost like it was burned.
The Silkies I got in April, all the rest I got together in July.
We have very few mosquitoes here.
