Fowl Pox?

 

[Sphynxii]

someone suggested this but then changed their mind im not sure what fowl pox looks like either have you had any experiance with it?

A fungus? Has the weather been hot and humid or damp? Just guessing on my part, I've never seen it before.
Fowl Pox usually starts with a pearly pimple then crusts over.

Not really its just coming out of winter here

 

[MrsBachbach]

One other thing I read is it could be parasites, like lice, mites, fleas or ticks. Did you see if it could be removed or if it moves?

Hes very hard to catch but i can try thankyou

Looks fungal to me. Is there any way their feed or bedding could have gotten moist (even from humidity)? If it is fungal, foot creams or monstat (sp?? the female cream) will work wonders.

It is best to grab them at roosting time if you can't catch them normally. They have no night vision and will be tired from the day.

Fowl pox is usually on the face comb and wattles.. I would discredit that statement. It may be scaly leg mites? I haven't personally had experience with those though.

It looks like some kind of mold?
