Welcome to BYC. dDo you have any pictures? Fowl pox is a virus spread by mosquitoes that last 2-3 weeks. The typical dry pox affects the comb, wattles, and face, and usually requires no treatment, unless scabs are near eyes. Then you could use Terramycin eye ointment from a feed store in the eyes to help prevent or treat eye infection. Do not disturb the scabs as that can spread the pox to other areas. If one looks seriously sick and not eating, they can develop wet pox in the throat and below, causing starvation and dehydration. Look for any yellow spots in the throat, and make sure they are drinking well. Here is some reading:
