Fowl pox?

[Jmc11]

I have attached two photos of the best pics I could get. I’ve got this spreading around my flock, it seems to be starting with swelling of one eye, yellow/crusty patches as you can see next to chickens mouth and on her wattle area. I’ve culled three chickens already due to how severe it got. Making sure they are hydrated, added some apple cider vinegar water, I’ve seperated these two now that I’ve caught it on them but I have a pretty large flock. I definitely see some signs of dry fowl pox on some others with black spots on their combs and faces. Not sure what else I could do, anyone have some insight?

As long as it’s dry fowl pox there isn’t much you can do but wait for it to run it’s course. Wet fowl pox is a different story and I don’t have experience with it. Wet fowl pox will show up inside their mouth though and causes some pretty nasty issues with eating and drinking. Do you have pictures of the ones you had to cull?

Where are you located in the world?

Can you open the beak and take some photos of the inside of the beak?

Do you notice a very bad odor?

I see some possible Dry Fowl Pox Lesions on the wattles, but it looks more like scabbing/injury on the comb.

The lesion or sore on the side of the beak is concerning, especially since you've already culled a few birds. Did they ever develop lesions that covered the eyes or was the severity due to buildup inside the beak?

It's important to know if you are dealing with Fowl Pox or Canker or possibly something else, treatment would be different for each, so more information along with photos may help us help you figure this out.
