My First Time Farm
Songster
Ok so I have around 27 Chickens and 11 of them are in one coop and the others are in another coop(due to age differences) Recently I got a new rooster for the adult hens the 11 ones. Well I quarantined him for about a week and everything seemed perfect when I put him in with the girls. Well about a week and a half later we had a unexpected winter storm and it snowing and went into the 10s and it literally never gets that cold so I was not prepared. Well about 3 or 4 days after the snow had finally melted after being there for around a week I noticed that my rooster had many different colors on his comb and did not seem normal cuz there was about 3 boil looking bumps on it as well. I am worried that it might be fowl pox. Some of my other hens have some spots too but I personally think its just the pecking order establishment due to the fact it has been on there combs for a good while now and has not gotten worse. In my other coop I have nit seen any on their combs. I have also checked every chickens mouth and they are as healthy as a chicken mouth can be.
