I'm relatively new to raising chickens and haven't experienced any problems until now . I have a hen that laid ,took over other eggs immediately following hurricane Ida . She's young but healthy and is a great mother ( blue Cochin/gamebird mix) She hatched out 13 and 10 survived (9 after a hawk.) They were healthy at hatch but a week and a half later mom started showing light spots on her comb and a little puffy . I looked online and read about fowl pox . Skip to now ... All 9 babies and mom have it but the poor babies are horrible . They eat , drink and run around as usual but they're looking so bad and it's getting worse although it's been almost 3 weeks . What can I do for them ? Will they be permanently disfigured ? I will gladly keep all of them if so and give them a loving home no matter how they look . I desperately need any advice on making it better for them .
It's also looking like they're is swelling/ lumps/knots under the skin that's doesn't look like the fowl pics pictures online . They're poor little faces are deformed looking now aside from the sores for the fp .
