My hen has a poisonous reaction to something! Help!

[JustAChickenLoverOverHere]

I just had a sweet baby die in my arms today from fowl pox, it blocked her trachea and caused respiratory failure. She had outbreaks around her eyes, nostrils, and beak. Pretty bad when they get around the face and eyes. Cause blindness, stunted growth, and other illnesses. Your baby has one below her eye. The mother hen is scabbed and will survive. Coconut oil will help the scabs heal.

I’m sorry for your loss, and thank you for your help.

This is for anybody; can fowl pox infect humans?
