Well at first I thought it was a my hens were pecking at each others combs cause I see them do it. After doing research, I suspect fowl pocks, or know it's fowl pocks, the dry from of it. I read though the forums on it and believe I have the proper Chicken care of plan, I'm in the health care field so this is what I do, well on humans... Basically I plan of warm water cleanings, H202 rinse, and the application of neo-sporin of the affected areas. I saw people are giving LA200 injections, and wondered is this completely relevant or an extra prophylactic. My friendliest of the chicks has it the worse while some are not showing any signs and others have a spot or two. Also I didn't really see anything on how contagious it is and I wonder since it's a pock, supposedly, if it has a relation to the herpes zoster family. Lastly has any one tried wrapping the chicken in a towel for treatment, I handle my everyday but as soon as I start cleaning the head, they freak out! I think I might try that? Any extra advice or recommendations would be appreciated. Mahalo in advance!
