She is fine but looks like got virus of pox....

[yukogaku]

Her comb is not clear colour and looks shrinking. And I found some pox today.
Other chickens are all fine. Should I separate her from other chickens?
Should I bring her vet?

Hi and welcome to BYC - thanks for joining us. You may get the best advice posting on the ER forum - https://www.backyardchickens.com/forums/threads/add/forumId/10

Personally, I would not worry about it too much, unless you see it spreading to the rest of the wattles / comb (in terms of it being fowl pox). It could be an infected insect bite, or an infection from a small cut. If it is fowl pox, there's not too much a vet a could do, since its a virus.

I'll let the ER experts provide further advice.

best wishes

Welcome!!!!!


Always separated a chicken from the rest of the others when an illness is present. Go to the thread suggested...good luck with your bird.

You may want to put "fowl pox" in the searchbox - there are two kinds wet & dry. Information coming up may help you decide. Do separate her from the others unless they are showing signs as well.
