my chichens have just started gettin this, im so worried. it is fowl pox or avian pox.or it looks like what the vet told me it was. there is no cure, it can be vaccinated when they are young 0-10wk i was told. the vet said it was a virus and would run its course and that chickens that get through will be immune to it. the death rate for this is very small. the vet gave me medicine antibotic for what i do not know i guess for after infection??? I was told to treat the eye like your own wipe wet warm papertowel to help with puss, put vasiline with (oh i cant remember) i'll find out. some have said put monkey blood on combs and wattle. i ahve heard people helping the animal eat and drink. hope things get better. i'm with you in your trouble
