Head cysts

[Meri Maura]

Three of my SLWs have multiple small cysts on their head. I usually let these things work themselves out, but I'm starting to worry. Pics tomorrow.

Pictures could help. Is it fowl pox or in the feathered area? Are they possibly ingrown feather cysts? Are they hard or soft?

Pictures would be needed to know exactly what it is. Here is what fowl pox looks like:

Fowl pox is a virus carried by mosquitoes. It can last about 3-4 weeks. Most chickens recover, and no treatment is required.
