Fowl Pox Question

[VanAndXan]

My coop just broke out in dry fowl pox right before it was time to cull for the freezer. Culling day has been planned for Thursday for a few weeks. Is there any issue with continuing with the cull and freeze? I know we can't catch pox, but couldn't find a definitive answer. These were the only round of birds not vaccinated besides the babies indoors. Go figure. Lesson learned.

Fowl pox is not transmittable to humans. Eggs are safe to eat as well.

Thanks so much. Logic told me this, but I figured BYC would know for certain.
