I zoomed. Hmmmmm.
I don’t see evidence of one single new pustule anywhere. Do you?
If the weather’s good tomorrow, get a bucket of warm, slightly soapy water and a handful of washcloths and give everybody a little scrub up.
Then watch them for a few days.
My girls get little boo-boos on their combs from who knows where. The occasional jab, ducking under a bush, scraping against the hardware cloth in the run...

What I mean is with pox, sort of like chicken pox in kids, first there’s one then another then another until eventually theres a whole bunch.
So the lesions which become pustules arrive and develop in sequence both coming and going. Everything in those pictures look stable.

Wet pox usually has many miserable looking eruptions around the mouth and eyes as well as inside the mouth with the yellow plaque patches.

CSA,

They look really good to me. I also zoomed the taters out of the pictures. I didn't see anything that would be pox looking.
Looks like normal damage I see in my gals all the time.

Thank you both for so much for your response :hugs:hugs:hugs
I do tend to worry too much about my chicken kids. And I haven't been home as much lately so when I noticed so many scabby combs today (not just Roux's) I got freaked out!
I will get them cleaned up and continue to keep an eye on them. Fingers crossed there are no new sores :fl

I had a busy day. It was cold and rainy so no working on the coop. So I loaded up a truck and went to the dump. Finally got all the gross old carpet out of the garage.
Then since I had the use of a truck I asked about going to the restore to look for a door. Didn't find one but got a housewarming gift.

The friend who pissed me off with chicken comments.... yeah he found this and picked it up right under my nose.
We then went to the co-op. Like a giant thrift store where you can rent a booth a sell your stuff. Old or new--

I couldn't resist! And I found a door. So not a bad day.

Love both pieces! Is the glass a Fenton piece?

I have 2 CL roos, one has a much bigger comb than the other. Both are kept in enclosures with lots of ventilation. So i am hoping for minimal damage.

I should have 2 eggs hatching under a broody this week. Hoping and praying I don’t get 2 more roosters.

Do y’all think 60$ is to much for Ameraucana pullets

That’s the going rate for a pullet here. I would say it depends on background and breeding.
Saying Ameraucana is a nice way to get extra money for a bearded back yard mix.
I know the breeder here that sells them for that much breeds true.

To much for here.

Ameraucana is a fancy way of saying Easter Egger in most cases.

Here its hard to sell most pullets at even 15 bucks.
English orpingtons go for 60 as do blue partridge Brahma. Both are very hard to get.
