Is this fowl pox?

[Jgarza77]

I'm having trouble identifying whether or not this could be fowl pox. She is a little over a year old and currently molting. Never dealt with pox before but we're in South Texas so there are always mosquitos year round. Any advice would be much appreciated

It does look like a mild case of fowl pox. Pox is caused by a virus spread by mosquitoes and lasts bout a month if there are no secondary infections. There is no treatment. Leave the scabs alone or risk spreading the virus. Here is some reading with pictures:

Thank you for the info. Is it possible for the virus to run its course in just over a week? I had another hen with similar swollen areas and scabs about 3 weeks ago that didn't last very long at all. I just assumed she had bug bites or been pecked by another hen because it didn't look as bad as pics I'd seen online of pox

If it just lasted a week, that sounds more like pecking or bug bites. Pox usually last 3-5 weeks. It starts out as very faint beige spots, turning tan or brown. This picture shows the different coloring of scabs, and can very in every chicken:

Thank you for the help! I'll continue to monitor the lesions to see if they develop into anything worse
