Wild Chicks Limping

[Eber]

Hello again,

The chicks have continued to improve, with the Brindle walking again and Amy Winehouse (with eyeliner), the one with a bump on her nose limping less but then after it seemed the fowl pox was healing, Brindle has a horrible new outbreak and some others are looking worse with more wort-like bumps, as well. Does anyone have experience with fowl pox reoccurring quickly and with more virulence? I'm out of town now but a good friend is continuing with the vitamin waters and nutritional yeast, and using colloidal silver on the bumps. We treated them for mites about a week ago, dusting them gently with pyrethrin powder (the power puff method in a bit of old hosiery worked well) and spraying the coop with a liquid concentrate, diluted.

Thank you for any potential insight or additional help!

It could be something else besides Fowl Pox or is has just not run it's course.
Birds should be resistant after the Pox clears up.

You can try putting Iodine on the scabs to help them dry up. I'm not sure how effective Colloidal Silver would be since this is a virus.

Glad the limping is improving.

Thank you, Wyorp Rock. Will pass this on to my friend. I think I have some Iodine or maybe she does.
