It does look like fowl pox, a virus spread by mosquitoes. The dry type lasts about 3 weeks, but since he is really sick, I would look inside his beak and throat for any yellow spots or tissue that might be signs of wet pox. The wet type makes them very sick, not eat or drink well, and he may need some help getting enough to eat and drink. Secondary infections can also be a problem with pox. I would mix up a small bowl of chicken feed, egg, a tsp of plain yogurt, and lots of water. Giving some poultry vitamins would probably help.

Thank you for your help, what kind of poultry vitamins, i really dont know

Go to a feed store and look for Poultry Cell or NutriDrench. Those can be given orally at 2-3 ml daily with a dropper. Or you can use Vitamins With Lactobacillus, SaveAChick electrolytes with vitamins, Durvet poultry vitamins, or other brands. Egg, chopped liver, tuna, and sunflower seeds can all be nutritious and enriched with vitamins. Make sure that she eats mostly a fresh dated chicken feed for 90% of her diet.
