Please could someone help! I found a chicken that has sores on its face and a few bubbles in its eye. Is it fowl pox? I have attached 2 pics. What can I do to help this poor girl!?
Thank you so much! I will get some antibiotic cream. I have separated her and put her inside in a large cage. Also put antibiotics in her water. She can hardly see, one eye completely covered and the other slightly open.
If there is pus or crust in the eye, it needs to be cleaned out to allow the eye medicine to work, but at the same time, disturbing scabs can spread the virus. Have you seen any other chickens with scabs? When there is one case of pox, there are usually more when there are so many scabs. Let us know how gets along.
