Recurrence of lesions on Showgirl chick's neck *PICS Included

[homeschoolchick]

I posted about this about a month ago.......




These pictures are just as bad as my first post, I am sorry. This is the best I can do. I hope you can see enough to help. This is "Boo-Boo". She has been named this because of her lesions. This is the same chicken that I posted about a month ago. The other chicken got over it. I thought she was getting better from the triple antibiotic cream I was using. But, I was obviously wrong. Every time it looks like it is clearing up, it comes back! It never totally goes away. The chicks are outside now. No other chick has this problem and she is with all of them. I guess I will stop using the antibiotic cream because it is not working after all.

Any ideas????? She acts healthy and normal like the rest. I don't know what it is and I am afraid if I stop using the cream it will take over. I have not seen her getting pecked or picked on by the others.

This is the only thing I have been able to find. Perhaps it's worth a shot?

Thank you! I will look at this right now!!

Well, I just checked it out. No, it is not favus. Thank you very much for looking up explanations though! I greatly appreciate it!

Yea I know it didn't fit perfectly, but it was the only thing that was even remotely similar

Just keep an eye on the rest of your flock to make sure it doesn't spread. As long as she seems happy and otherwise healthy, I would try to not worry about it.

Out of curiousity, where did you get your stock? I wonder if mine were related to yours.

Thank you! I check them all out daily. No sign of spreading. Hope it doesn't!!

Sent you a PM.

Maybe Avian Pox? Which I think is called Fowl Pox too. It sort of looks like that from what I see. https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/avian-pox-how-to-treat-your-chickens-for-avian-pox

Hello, and thank you I am not sure what it was, but when I stopped trying to treat it with triple antibiotic cream.....it cleared up and has not returned!
