my poultry had fowl pox but it never looked that bad. I never noticed until the first one had small black spots all over her head. Then I could see the little blisters on the others. They all got the black spots that got all scabby. They never acted sick or anything, but they sure were ugly for a while.

Mine had what you call dry pox and it is pretty much self limiting. My understanding is that they carry it afterwards, and it can break out again in times of stress. If they get wet pox, down in their throat, then it is very serious and life threatening. Mine took probably a month to 6 weeks for all of them to get back to normal.
