Is this Fowl Pox???

[FloridaChick88]

Last week a couple of my girls started developing these pustule looking bumps on their wattles, ear lobes and combs. This girls bumps just keep getting bigger and I don't know what to do. Is this fowl pox???

From what you have described it could possibly be fowl pox. If you could post a pic that would be very helpful please

Sorry my phone is acting up

Mmm... those are quite large. Are they filled with puss or hard to the touch? I can't quite see on the pic but do a couple look like are scabbing and going black?

They feel firm to the touch. They started out very small and there were just a few. They got biggerand now she has them on her ear lobes around her nostrils and there seem to be a couple popping up on her comb. She is still eating and drinking. I live in an area with tons of mosquitos....not sure if that is relevant or not.

I forgot to mention a couple do look like they are scabbing up.

Mosquito's and what you have described would lead me to believe this fowl pox as you suspected.

I have thank you. I wasn't sure because, like you said, those bumps are so big! It didn't look like any of the pics I saw.

Can you get some clearer photos?
