Yesterday my chicken, April seemed fine. She was eating and drinking happily as ever, but when I woke up today i noticed she was lethargic and wouldn't eat or drink. Then when i went out later one of her eyes had bumps on it, it as closed and she won't open it. I then saw a bump on the inside of her mouth that was bleeding and a patch of feather missing from her back (don't know if this is relevant or if the other peck her), and i'm REALLY worried. I searched and it says there is no cure, is this true? And if so then is she going to die? Please anyone who knows anything reply as soon as possible.
Welcome to BYC. Could you post a picture of her head, beak, and eyes? Wet pox usually presents as yellow patches inside the beak, airway, and can infect the trachea and esophagus.
