spot on his face

[digghere1000]

I bought him from one of the farm the owner told me he was vaccinated. But the owner did not tell at what age.

Many get their chicks vaccinated for Mareks, and some for coccidiosis. I didn't think many did it for pox though.. I think it is safer to do that at a later age. How do the spots look?

He has two more new spots on his face that make me even more worrying.

it might be foul pox

How serious is foul pox?

How serious is foul pox?

It generally isn't too serious, and goes away in several weeks. It can be more dangerous and serious if it turns into wet fowl pox, which can cause lesions in the throat.

This morning I real that he does not like to eat or drink. What can I do? Please help!!!

Look inside his beak and throat for any yellow patches that should not be there. His skin lesions do not really look like typical fowl pox. Could another chicken be pecking him or could he be hurting himself on something such as a feeder or waterer? Is the farm where you got him close by to have the seller look at him?
