Fowl Pox

[RenataPorter]

My guess is this is the pox, but I'm going to ask anyhow because it's presenting very differently than it has in the past. My girls get the black spots every once in a while and I just put MedRX in the water, and then they are all good. This girl literally overnight has two massive growths. I've just never seen them this big and only just show up as massive. She does have smaller ones too, which is why I'm assuming it's pox. None of the other birds are showing any signs...so...what do you think? Also, I was reading an older post here where someone said to remove the big ones (which looked more like warts than these). Is that a good recommendation? Anything else I should do?

Also, I forgot to mention there are no other symptoms. She's laying running around like normal.

It looks like fowl pox. Do not disturb the scabs since that can spread it. It is a virus that lasts about 3-4 weeks, and there is no treatment. Some paint Betadine on the scabs to help dry them up. Here is some reading:

Thank you. It's weird how when you've think you've seen the weridest thing with the chickens something else pops up. Last month I was treating a bumble that would not heal - I finally had to get after it and pull it hard and this quarter inch hard thing had developed inside. Crazy.
