Possible Cankers + Bumblefoot + Avian Pox + Rain (PICS)

How is the hen?

It looks like she has the dry form of avian pox on her legs. She may have some "wet pox" lesions in her throat which is making her drool because she can't breathe/swallow correctly.

The little black spot on her foot pad is probably bumblefoot. She acts droopy because she can't breathe very well. Do a search on avian pox and see if her symptoms correspond with those symptoms.

Avian pox can be really hard on chickens. My little bantam felt terrible for a few days until the worst of it passed. She had huge lesions on her facial skin.....so nasty!

I hope your hen gets better quickly.
