I know there are other threads addressing this issue, but I couldn’t figure out how to join them. i’m seeking help to identify if this looks like fowl pox.

In this article, you will see fowl pox lesions which are beige to brown and darker:

So, I am not convinced that is pox yet.

I have a young hen with what I’m convinced is a raging case of dry fowl pox. The first picture was taken about a week ago, the second one today. She is acting very normal and doing all the things chickens do. Eating well, pooping, and foraging in the yard. Her egg laying has curtailed but she did lay today. The discoloration in the second picture is staining from an application of Blu-Kote. I’m also applying daily a mixture of Vaseline and sulfur as per the Chicken Chick. I am watching for infection and am prepared to treat with Vetericyn Plus. I’m also trying to control mosquitoes with an application of Permethrin to the coop. Another hen has a much lesser outbreak, which hasn’t spread in days. The other girl is totally symptom free. I’m new at this and invite any ideas and information for treatment.
