well is it doesnt have the knots or scabs, you most likely dont have pox.
It starts as acne, or ant bit looking white heads, they turn black , scab over and then fall off. They will make a bird look horrible for a while, but as long as they can still breathe, they useually will survive ( wet pox is the most deadly because of being internal)
It is spread by mosquitoes and biting flies, then again by birds picking at each others scabs.
Try to post a pic and we will go from there.
As for the doseing yes, 1/2 cc for chicken 1 cc for turkeys is about right.
Also a little vitamin addative in the water never hurts!
And for both of you with the sicklies,
Check with you local vet and see if you have a U.S.D.A. Poultry Lab near by. If so, that is these guys job. They are government vets that work specifically on poultry. They can draw a little blood and do a little testing, and tell you exactly what the problem is.
I never new of them until a vet told me we had 2 within a hour of us, one wasnt 25 minutes away!
And the good thing is, so far I have never been charged by them for a single exam!
Cant hurt to check in. If you have chicken farms near you, these's a good chance you will have one of these labs too.
Good luck,
Aubrey

Hello...I inject 1/2 cc of Tylan. You can do it in the breast or if that scares you, the nape of the neck is much easier and seems just as effective...Pinch the skin on the back of the neck and inject the needle, making sure it has gone in just enough...inject the antibiotic...I do this for 5-7 days, once a day. Hope that helps!!!
And thanks to all about the turkey...I will go out npw to get a pic!!!
