What is this?

I just noticed several of the babies have this on them. One has both eyes shut. What can it be?

Looks like fowl pox. Where are you located?

Should I treat the spots with anything! Iodine or newspeak or anything you can name. Thanks

Fowl pox is much harder on baby chicks. As long as they can get enough food and water, and develop no secondary infection, they can get over it in a few weeks. Don’t disturb the scabs if possible because the scabs are contagious. Let us know how they get along.
