My poor chicken has fowl pox...is there ANY way to help at all?

[HeiHei123]

I haven't seen any scabs on her legs and feet. It looks like one of the scabs on her comb was pecked because now it's all bloody. Would the chicken that pecked her possibly get wet fowl pox? Or is wet and dry fowl pox two completely different viruses?

Fowl pox is a virus that might manifest itself differently in each bird, but I don't think *how* they catch it will change if it's dry v wet fowl pox. Eating blood or scabs of an infected bird can definitely spread it though.

Could the scabs be from pecking wounds? The treatment would be to apply plain Neosporin ointment to the scabs. Does she have any sneezing, bubbles in her eye, or other respiratory symptoms besides head shaking?

No she doesn't have any other respiratory symptoms, but the scabs on her comb are definitely not from others pecking her. She has never had bad injuries before and she is very good at defending herself from other chickens. The ones she has are slightly raised and sometimes have white around them and new scabs keep appearing.
