Help!!What am I dealing with??? Fowl Pox???

[Crazy4chickens2018]

Can someone verify if this is fowl pox? I noticed my one hen had a bloody comb a few days ago and thought she may have been pecked so I didn’t think much of it as she seemed fine otherwise. Yesterday when I let my girls out I noticed her eye was swollen shut so I started to look around at the other members of the flock and saw another hen with a swollen pussy eye. This morning two other chickens have crust spots on their combs. My chickens usually free range so I have them all locked up together in the run with electrolytes and a watered full of apple cider vinegar and garlic. I have 14 hens and 6 seem to be affected....it seems like it has affected my Orpingtons but not my Easter eggers, Maran etc.. I feel like they have all been exposed and I really don’t have the space to separate 6 chickens from the rest, so I have to keep them together unfortunately. Is there anything else I can/should do?

Yes that appears to be fowl pox. There is no treatment necessary. But I would get some QTips, saline eye wash to flush the eye of the chicken with the pus in the eye, and Terramycin eye ointment to apply twice a day. The pus needs to come out.
