I have a pretty strong stomach for all the various forms of chicken woes, but fowl pox makes me go weak with helplessness. If only there was some way, any way to make the afflicted chicken more comfortable for the two weeks or so that pox takes to run its course. But alas, we mostly can only watch and hope the worst cases don't die from suffocation or starvation.

The best treatment for pox is prevention. Once a year, especially if you live in a high mosquito area, is vaccination. This is cheap and easy. Here's a video showing how to do it.

You can order the vaccine here. https://www.valleyvet.com/ct_detail.html?pgguid=63C9BFF7-0AE9-41A5-BCE7-773D195EE78C

Meanwhile, the best you can do is to use an antiseptic on the lesions to prevent bacterial infection. Vetericyn wound spray is good. You will also need to remove any scabs that are encroaching on the chicken's ability to breathe so they don't suffocate. This include the throat at the entrance to the trachea.

That is a pretty significant case of fowl pox. It is a virus carried by mosquitoes in hot weather. What is your general location? Pox lasts about a month or so, and most chickens recover if there are no secondary infections. The more dangerous form is wet pox, which causes yellow material inside the beak and throat. I would check for that, but it is more rare. Make sure he can see well enough to eat and drink. Or help him. Wet chicken feed is a good way to get more fluids into him. Once a chicken has fowl pox, they will be immune to the chicken form in the future. Vaccines can be given to unexposed chickens.
