Not an emergency, just a Question:)

I recently discovered fowl pox in my roo and he’s 5 months old, is it too late to vaccinate them? they’re all 5 months old.

Could you post pics of the pox? And have you thoroughly checked the other birds for signs of it?

Could you post pictures of the lesions?

Generally, if only one or two are affected out of a whole flock you can vaccinate to help prevent further spreading within the flock, and reduce clinical symptoms. You can get the fowlpox vaccine here, and administer it via the wing/stick method :

For the lesions, you can apply Povodine-Iodine to them to help prevent infection of the surrounding tissue, and to help dry them out. Any sores around the eye, you can use Terramycin to prevent ocular irritation. Disinfecting their feeders and waterers, increasing ventilation in their coop, reducing mosquitoes populations if present, providing affected birds with vitamins are some additional measures to help reduce spread, and clinical symptoms.

i asked the community if it was fowl pox and they said it looks like it? not 100% sure but beans my roo is the only one that seems to have it, their mouths look normal as well. it seems like his fowl pox is spreading as well, he only had 2 yellow pimple like things on his comb a bit ago. sorry im a little late they like to nap under plants and trees and they hide

you were actually the one who told me it was early fowl pox and provided a link @duckiemum

If you are sure he's the only one that has pox, then vaccinating the rest will protect them from it. Isaac has provided a link for the vaccine.

If that's the extent of what you are seeing on the wattles, I would leave it alone.

Where do you live?
