How long before symptoms show for fowlpox???

[JustBabyMargo]

Hi! I’m getting super paranoid after seeing one mosquito on my broody bantam’s face last night!😬 How long does it take for symptoms to show? She is acting perfectly normal and there aren’t any symptoms! So would she have it? Do symptoms pop up immediately or take a while? We don’t have all that many mosquitoes around here and they have to suck the blood of a chicken who has it in their bloodstream? There also aren’t many chickens around here so I’m not sure what the chance of those chickens having it would be? Thanks in advance for any help!😊

I don’t think every mosquito can lead to fowl pox.

Thank you! Yeah but if that mosquito did would she already have symptoms do you know?😉

Is there any chickens with fowl pox in your area? Like, very close by, like on your farm or something? I've had mosquitoes bite my chickens plenty of times, and thankfully, so far, no signs of fowl pox.

No we have never had any problems with fowl pox before and there are only a couple of people with chickens around this area that I know of!😉 But we live in the country so everyone is farther away!😉
