My chicken had fowl pox like symptom for 4 weeks. Help!

[Luckybaby]

My 4 years old chicken had a symptom of fowl pox since 4 weeks ago. It initially appears to be a wound at her comb and near her ears, since it was bleeding. I applied betadine 10% for 2 days, but it worsens (it grew bigger and there was more bleeding) several days later. Since last week, I noticed that her fowl pox virus started to increase substantially when a lot of warts appeared on her wattles and other parts of her head.

I know that she had fowl pox when she was 1 year old. So, she should be immune to it, and if it did occur because of stress, she shouldn't have the symptoms since 2 weeks ago. The other chickens in the flock, doesn't have the same illness as hers, and they all had fowl pox before they reach 2 years of age.

I seperated her from the flock and I applied betadine everyday since 6 days ago.

Can you take her to a vet?

Vet is not an option.

Are there scabs/lesions inside her beak as well?

You can apply Terraymycin eye ointment or Vetericyn eye gel around the eyes to help with the scabs there. Iodine can be applied to the scabs on the comb and wattles to help dry those up. Don't pick off the scabs.

Clean and sanitize her water daily (instructions in the link below).

Offer her some poultry vitamins and see that she is eating well. She may benefit from extra protein like egg or tuna in addition to her normal feed.

If she develops respiratory symptoms along with the pox, then she may need antibiotics as well to help fight any secondary infections.
