[CHCIKENMAN OF OGLETHORPE]

Runny eyes....pus

sort of looks like fowl pox but I don't or have not read where this is a factor

anyway took a couple of pics maybe someone can tell what this is and what i should / can do about it

Sorry, no clue.

Hopefully someone who knows will see this.

that doesn't look good at all!!! Hope someone can help!!!

looks like now this is my guess maybe she was pecked in the eye and it is minor.

I know next to nothing... but can you put some neosporin or other triple antibiotic on it if it is an infected pecking or lesion? (just for future reference for my own birds as well...)

aww poor birds.

I think they may have some avian disease. or a viral infection. The link above has the symptoms and other info about Avian Pox. I hope this helps and hopefully some more people will chip in and help!

Good luck and I hope your poor birds get better soon!

:aww

To me the first pic looks like foul pox and the second looks like it could be Coryza.

Yes, I agree that the first pic really looks like fowl pox and the second looks like it may be Coryza.

in fact, good ol' BYC has a page that explains avian pox/fowl pox:

I'm 98.9% sure that the first photo is fowl pox.
