Please tell me I am wrong, but.....pics added

Me too!! I am clueless. I have had chickens for almost a year and I have not had to deal with anything like this. I am having a run of badluck though.... I lost my rottie ,Sadie, last Friday, on my birthday. She passed while I was gone. We got home from vacation that sunday. Well monday my minpin fell in the pool and couldn't get out. That is the one time I am thankfull that my dh smokes....he went back out to smoke and heard her flopping around in the pool and got her out. Then Wensday I lost 2 button quail hens.....now this

Look inside the beak for placques
I would also assume wet pox (just a guess but seeing they often go together....)
Rinse the eye daily with sterile saline... treat the lesions with iodine and give supplemental vit A (you can use Polyvisol for this)

Thankyou dlhunicorn. I am gonna do that. Can you tell me again how to make my own saline? I know it is on here somewhere. How much polyvisol? Do I need to continue with the terramycin or go to something stronger or stop using anything. Sorry for all the question's.


Edited because I can not think this morning.

Definitely wet pox..Good advice so far...Though I would vaccinate all the others showing no sighs of the disease..I'm not very trigger happy when it comes to antibiotics/vaccines but pox vaccine is one I reccomend, even if you've never had it before.....
 
Pine Grove, thankyou! I have looked in the mouth of the roo and there is no placques. Where do I get the Vaccine for this? Does TSC sale it? Also, do I need to treat all of the birds in my yard or just the one's that have been in the same pen with this one. I have barred rocks in a pen beside the cochins.

Thanks everybody for helping me.....
