Hi, all!
Today I noticed my barred rock had a weird wart looking thing on her wattle. My husband and I set her down to get a phone to take a picture and within a few minutes the dark scab had already fallen or been pecked off. I attached a photo of what it looks like. We put some iodine on it. My husband also noticed white bumps on her comb and white bumps on our buff orpington’s comb and wattle as well, they look like little blisters or pimples. Attached is a photo of that as well.
We think it is Fowlpox because the mosquitos are horrendous in our yard, but other opinions on it and suggestions for helping get them better are appreciated. We cleaned out their waterer and gave them fresh water in addition to cleaning out their coop, but it wasn’t really dirty. I’m just trying to keep things clean for my poor ladies. Additionnally, does anyone have any good waterers they recommend? I was thinking of getting them the kind with the nipples so the water doesn’t dirty as fast. Again, any guidance would be great and thank you!
