Is this fowl pox?

[JewelBirds]

I noticed a few bumps on two of my chickens (both are 6 years old). They are in a pen with one other chicken, a duck, and a turkey who all do not have any scabs or bumps. None of my other birds in other coops have any bumps/scabs either (with the exception of one, but I think it is a pecking wound).

Corner of her eye

Right above her eye on the other side

I also noticed one on her cheek that I wasn't able to get a good photo of, she wasn't cooperating very well.
I only see 2 on each of them. Does it look like fowl pox? The mosquitoes have been horrible this year and still going strong this month.
Any advice to prevent it happening to the other birds in their coop, or is it already too late? I read iodine could help by putting it on the scabs, does anyone know what kind of iodine? Also saw something about putting iodine in their drinking water, any thoughts on this?

The bumps on the face could be the beginning of Fowl Pox or they may just be bug bites, hard to tell. If you wish, paint a little Iodine on the bumps.

The one on the back of the comb looks to be a sore from an injury. If you have a rooster, it's likely from mating. If not rooster it's probably from another hen pecking at the comb or she may have caught it on fencing.
You can still apply Iodine to the wound or triple antibiotic ointment.

Okay, thank you. Hopefully it isn't fowl pox, will have to wait and see
Is betadine good to use?

Yes, you can use Betadine.

So now I have a turkey hen who has some bumpy scabs. She's the only one in her pen with them. She has at least five of them. Is this fowl pox or something else? I can try to get clearer pictures once I have some help, even with treats she was not having it

Leia's bumps maybe look a little more yellow today. I did apply betadine to them with a q-tip

It's definitely fowl pox. That's common this time of year, especially with all of the mosquitoes. How many birds do you have? The best you can do is quarantine the sick birds and let the disease run its course if you only have a few birds. But if this only represents a small part of your flock, order the fowl pox vaccine immediately and vaccinate the rest of the birds. They might develop the disease after you vaccinated them if they don't have time to build immunity before they get infected but if you manage to prevent the majority from getting it it's for the better.

I have 32 total turkeys, ducks, and chickens divided into 7 pens. Only noticed the bumps in 2 pens right now. Do you know where the best place to get the vaccine is?

Yes, it looks like Fowl Pox.
It's spread mainly by mosquitoes, so it's not uncommon for several birds to have it at the same time.

Dry Form is not that serious and will usually resolve on its own over the course of several weeks.
I don't separate out birds, nor do I really even treat mine when they have Fowl Pox.

Once they have recovered, they will build resistance, so usually I only see Fowl Pox in younger birds since the older ones have already had it or been exposed.

If you vaccinate chances the vaccinated birds won't get it again so it's good to do. To be honest I don't know where my mom got the vaccine.
Dry form and wet form can happen at the same time (some birds will get dry and some will get wet. For example, most of my birds that got it this year had dry pox but one straight up died of wet pox.) So IMO you can never be too careful.
But then it's up to you. Your flock is kind of in between large and small.
And yeah thanks to mosquitoes it might just be in those pens but pop up in others (like in my case I have tons of separate pens and only a couple didn't have one or two cases.)
You probably don't need to vaccinate the ducks.
If you don't want this to happen again you can vaccinate any new birds next year now that you know your area is prone. I know I will. I moved recently and it turns out this place is just as bad as the last. :/
