This article says there is no evidence that the disease can affect humans.

Yes you can.. But you should be able to tell as you should seperate that hen. She'll infect the others with pox from.. Drinking from contaminated water, and just being near each other completely.. Things i've heard to help cure up avian pox is toothpaste, magic markers or Sharpies.. Black shoe polish (this is the most common) along with many other things.
