Favus cure?

[jak2002003]

One of my hens has a very hard, crusty yellow comb and some on her wattles.

Nearly all the comb is under this crusty stuff......looks like a cookie.

I tried to pick some off, but its like rock.

How can I get rid of it?

I have 12 chickens and she is the only one with this.

The coop is dry and clean so I have no idea how she got it.

Some people have used Monistat and claimed good results.

Can you post a picture? Tinactin and Lotrimin are also used for favus. Favus is infectious, so be sure to use rubber gloves to treat her. Here is an excellent picture of favus (3rd down): https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/...wattles-overtaken-by-white-growth-please-help

oh dear..........I think mine is much worse. I will go out and get a photo when I get back from work.
They had fowl pox, and some got this yellow crusty stuff on them after they got over the fowl pox, but all of them cleared up.

i thought she would also loose the crusty stuff, but hers has got worse.

It sounds as though they still have the fowl pox lesions. They won't go away for 6-7 weeks. Putting some iodine on the lesions may help dry them up. Here is some info: http://www.thepoultrysite.com/diseaseinfo/63/fowl-pox-pox-avian-pox
