My chickens have white spots on their crowns.

Yes a few more have it know. We're in the mountains I cali. 70ish during the day and 50s at night.

Hmm, okay.

I thought fowl pox, but these are white bumps

I don't think it's fowl pox actually...would look a bit different.

Also we really don't have mosquitoes

Then they most likely do not have fowl pox.

Isn't there a type of yeast that can cause that? I thought I remembered that from a a while ago.

Yes, it's called favus, its a fungal infection. Treated with an anti fungal cream.

@hanahana1216 this is what I believe your flock has.

If u remember what it is can u please let me know. I am using an anti fungus spray on them now,it dosen't seem to be doing much. Thanks

It is what Tookie said. How long have you been using the spray? It may need the cream, I'll look it up.

I am using a fungal spray. It's been almost a week and not much is happening. Do u know how long it should take? The girls are eating-drinking and laying plenty of eggs.

From Wyorp Rock: To treat Favus you can use an anti-fungal cream like Clotrimazole (athlete's foot cream).

I'm so sorry, I don't know how long. Does the spray have clotrimazole as its active ingredient? That could be the issue.

I'd go ahead and get some anti fungal cream and use that, start off by using it for a week and see if there's any improvement.
