Pustules / growths on face

[tizabel_]

I discovered these bumps today all over the face eyes and wattles of this Banty hen. They are yellowish, some have opened up and are bloody but I don’t know if they are pus filled.

Her Banty sister died suddenly 4 days ago of unknown causes. She may have also had these growths on her face.

Diagnosis? Thanks all!

Fowl pox, looks like dry form which is something they usually recover from in a couple weeks.

Fowl pox would be my guess. Do you have mosquitoes out now?

It's my understanding that mosquitoes usually get the pox party started but it's incredibly durable in the environment. A contaminated coop/run area can just keep infecting new arrivals even if none of the chickens has an active infection.
