I'm around, but haven't had fowl pox experience luckily

anyone around?

one of my black NN's has fowl pox. she looks horrible, poor thing. her neck is covered with black spots. luckily it is not bothering her too much.

I’m here, but I too have not encountered fowl pox before.
The poor dear so sorry to hear that.

we have a lot of mosquitos here. I have always had fowl pox around but lost 1 chicken only due to it (in 5 years). she was a lakenvelder who laid soft shell eggs so I am not sure if fowl pox is reason she died.

Picture was taken today. Cockerel will be 5 month's old in a couple more day's. The pullet is 6 1/2 month's old. I haven't heard him crow yet, but I saw him breed her this evening when I was locking up out there.

Sad news, I lost Zeus during this cold snap. I think he just gave up .

I moved Lady so she wasn't alone. Now she's with my big boy Atlas, and he's happy to have a friend now. Hoping that's the only bird I lose to the cold

Sorry that you have lost Zeus.

Sorry that you have lost Zeus.

Yeah, sucks cause I lost both the chicks him and lady made a few weeks after mama forgot she had babies for the day, so I just won't have any of his genes. But him and Atlas came from the same hatchery shipment, so it's possible they were related. Certainly were similar in the giant size

That's a neat name. He looks a lot like my atlas. He just had more black spotting than atlas does. Do you know how much he weighs?

No, I don't know because I haven't weighed him. He's not full grown yet as he will only be 5 month's old on November 2nd. He's already a big boy though! He's taller than the bottom bar of the horse panel there in the picture.
