Is this fowl pox? Please look at these photos

Good work....
Just keep offering them healthier treats for a few days.
They should make it through this just fine.
 
Oh they are actually all better except one hen who is still recovering. She went through two days of lethargy and was picked on so we hand fed her and put Pick-no-more on her. Her behavior seems normal now. Thanks for asking!
 
It may be pox, especially if you have mosquitoes and hot weather right now. Fowl pox is spread by mosquitoes and lasts several weeks, usually without serious problems. The wet form of pox can cause yellow spots inside the mouth and throat causing serious illness that may lead to death if they are not eating. Also if the scabs of dry pox around eyes become numerous, they can lead to eye infections and blindness. Just make sure they are eating and drinking normally. There is no treatment, while in fact disturbing the scabs may spread it further.
