Hey fastfel...what did you do? I have the same thing going on. Also missing hair around her neck but I think that's due to the rooster.

I would get some Terramycin eye ointment from Tractor Supply (you may need to ask for it) and after cleaning the eyes with saline, apply the ointment twice a day to prevent a bacterial eye infection. Is the ear swollen? It really looks like pox to me. That is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, and is usually gone in 2-3 weeks, but secondary infections can be common. Don't disturb the scabs, except maybe to apply some iodine to help them dry out.

Thank you so much for advise.
I also read that with some vitamins and keeping their immune system strong the pox will take its course and go away.
Another chicken has signs too.
I am going to TSC today and get supplies I need.
