You could try a little acidified copper sulfate in their water (1/4 tsp per gal of water) probably do it only once or twice this week. It's not intended to be used excessively. And is more along the lines of supplemental help to kick the infection.

What I am seeing in one of the pictures looks like mild frostbite on a couple of comb tips. Is it cold where you are? I don't see pox in your pictures, and that occurs during warm months when mosquitoes are out. Here is a good picture collection of fowl pox: http://partnersah.vet.cornell.edu/avian-atlas/search/disease/510 and here is a picture of frostbite from another BYC member:

Your bird does NOT have fowl pox. Those are peck marks.

What do you think the OP's bird has...canker, blackhead? Not in this instance.

Good call Dawg, I was having trouble with the pictures. I don't suppose they could get frostbite in the summertime, LOL.

Thank you all!.

Is 'Peck marks' what it sounds like? just my hens fighting and pecking each other? they are all very close to one and other. Been together their whole lives (literally).

Thank you everyone.
