Fowl Pox??

[Buddyfarm11]

I Went Outside To Check On My Girls and I Realized My Leghorn Had Her Comb With Some Pimples on Her is it Fowl Pox?? What Symptoms Should I be Aware Of??



I put some Hydrogen Peroxide Liquid On Her Comb and Some Infection Came Out if that helps

It very well could be fowl pox. The bubbling you see with peroxide isn't 'infection coming out'. It's simply a chemical reaction that occurs when the liquid comes into contact with blood cells. There is no treatment for dry fowl pox unless the lesions become infected. It will run its course.

Mostly mosquitos carry the virus. It is not transmittable to humans.

Can you eat the eggs if they have dry pox?
