Fowl pox?

[BroodyBecca]

I have a chicken and three week oldchicks in a pen within the pen. They have sores on their faces. I think fowl pox from mosquitoes. Two chicks it’s on the eye and it’s closed up. One not eating. I gave natural yogurt yesterday and garlic in water . I think it’s going but worried this one chick not eating. What do I do please anyone that can advise?

Can you post pictures? How long have they had it? What is your location? The best things to eat are moistened chicken feed and a bit of scrambled egg bits. Pox lasts about 3 weeks. Are any scabs near eyes or nostrils?

Two chicks have on one eye which is funky looking. The bigger chick is coping but the smaller chick isn’t eating..goes to it but not pecking. I syringed egg yolk into beak

Try flushing the eye with saline or eye wash. If you have antibiotic ointment, use some in the eye twice a day.
