Help! Is this fowl pox?

[faithsbrood]

I recently discovered my hen looking like this. She’s been broody so every day ive just been coming to collect eggs and chuck her off the nest but haven’t had a chance to get a good look at her until now. I’ve discovered a black growth in the eye, dry and scab like. Aside from this she’s behaving just as normal and I haven’t noticed any behavioural changes. What could it be, and how am I best treating her?

That is a pecking wound. She was either picked at, or got into a tussle.

Thank goodness. Of course she did! Sassiest hen in the flock. Will probs just treat with a saline solution but if it’s scabbed over hopefully it will heal fine

They usually do good on it's own. Never had to treat a peck wound.
