Hi

Sorry to hear you have sick birds Looks like it could be fowl/avian pox which is viral and can be transited from bird to bird. There are wet and dry pox, wet usually occurring in the mouth and respiratory tract. Wet can be more harmful than dry. Here is an article for you to check out http://backyardchickens.com/a/avian-pox-how-to-treat-your-chickens-for-avian-pox
Drop by the emergencies section for more help and advice on this. Here is the link https://www.backyardchickens.com/f/10/emergencies-diseases-injuries-and-cures

Wishing you the best of luck with them in the future, I'm sure other members in the emergencies section will be able to help you.

X2 on what @Yorkshire coop said, sounds like pox to me too. I hope he gets over it soon!

Hi and welcome to our flock!

So glad you could join BYC! I'm sorry to hear about your sick chickens. It is always hard to have sick birds and not know what to do to treat them.

It looks like possible Fowl Pox to me, too. I definitely suggest posting in the Emergencies section for some good help. Fowl Pox isn't usually deadly, but can sure make birds uncomfortable and lead to secondary problems.

Good luck with your poor chickens. I hope they get better! Welcome to our community and if you have any other questions, feel free to ask. We'll try to help as well as we can.
