Fowl Pox? Or am I being a worry wart?

[Cindyloo]

So, one of my roosters that had canker, he's back with the flock now and doing amazingly better, has white bumps kinda all over his comb and waddles. I'm wondering if its fowl pox, but I may just be other thinking things. I'm not sure you can see anything from the pictures I took, today was an awful rainy and cold day, but I'll post what I have anyway.

Again, sorry for the blurry image! Tomorrow I will try to get clear ones

Canker is contagious. So is fowl pox. I'd keep him segregated until you're sure what you're dealing with.

Unfortunately you can't see anything in your pictures because they are not clear.
Fowl pox is spread by mosquitoes... I'm not sure but I don't think mosquitoes are usually around with snow on the ground.

Yeah, they aren't around at all, I'm probably worrying too much. Looking at pictures, then looking at his comb and waddles kinda shows me its not. I've just been through so much loss from hawks, and then the whole canker thing has kinda made me worry.

I do know they both are contagious, he doesn't have canker anymore, I treated both my roosters with fish zole and followed the dosage. I caught both of them early, just one of them was like a weak before the other had got it from the water they drank when free ranging. It was the backyard stream. The other one is still in quarantine, I'll have to get pictures of what is going on with his beak. All the canker is out of their mouths, I even left them both in quarantine like a week after their treatment was over just to make sure it was all gone. For the fowl pox, I know its spread by mosquitoes and right now, its winter.

Could it be like hardened skin, kinda like with people, where the skin doesn't shed nicely so it just piles up?

I've seen that on the bottoms of my chickens' feet, looks like callouses. I haven't seen it on other parts.

Try to get some clearer photos posted. You really have me curious to see this.

I will tomorrow morning if this storm calms down. And yeah, it kinda does. I know my other two perfectly fine silkies have that weird hard callouses on their feet, I'll get a picture of that too to see if they've got the same thing as your chickens

Terrific! I'll look forward to comparing notes.
