fowl pox

Hi all! My name is Stefney, I’ve recently acquired chickens for the first time. I live in South Africa, in the suburbs of Pretoria. I have 6 chickens at the moment: all of them are Orpingtons (2 x full size hens, 3 x bantam hens, 1 x bantam rooster). Please give me all of your best advice for...

So about a year ago we had a case of Fowl Pox run through our flock, no big deal, everyone made it out just fine. Fast forward to now, we had a hen hatch 4 eggs. 2 weeks in I started noticing signs of fowl pox on 2 of the babies and one adult who never showed symptoms during the last outbreak...

photos: 7 mo silverrudd, heritage Rhode Island roo and hens. A week ago I noticed my rooster was limping and not using one foot. I inspected the foot and he was missing a toenail and bleeding. Figured he got it caught on something, cleaned it up antiseptic and watched. Affected toe began...

The first photo is from September 22, a small bump or two by the beginning of his beak near his nose. The second is from today (November 11) I know it is a slow spreading virus but almost two months seems much longer than I’ve been reading about, at least as far as the initial nodules...

So, recently I discovered my flock has a case of fowl pox (i only have three birds, and they all seem to be mildly affected), or at least that's that I think it is. They (scabs) are mostly on their feet and toes and only one has a scab on her comb. it's been a little over a week since I...

We have a sweet little chicken about 5 1/2 months old, a golden laced wyandotte. She has battled coccidiosis three times this summer and recovered with corid each time! She suddenly seemed sickly a few days ago so I brought her inside. She was gaping mouth open struggling to breathe well, also...

I need help with my birds. I noticed fowl pox starting to run its course through my birds a few weeks ago. My bantams got hit hard and they look terrible. Some of Their eyes are crusted shut, and they seem to have ear infections?! I am helping the worst ones eat/drink bc they can’t see. But How...

Hi guys, does this look like fowl pox to you? this rooster was walking around a shopping center parking lot and I rescued him this morning. He’s eating and drinking and walking but one eye is swollen up shut and he has bumps all over. He’s separated from the flock completely to prevent...

Hi everybody, I have a suspected case of fowl pox and just wanted some input from you guys I have another chick who has had fowl pox for a week now, I’ve been trying some things to manage the disease, but I’ve decided to make the hard call that for the benefit of the flock it will be better to...

Foxl pox has been running around in one of my coops lately. Unfortunately my chicken Megan caught it and has had it about a week and a half/ 2 weeks or so. Unfortunately her babies just hatched today and they have been with her a couple of hours. I really hate to seperate her from her babies...

Hello folks! I made a post a few days ago and I didn't have a ton of information to go off on since it was my dad's hen and I only visit once or twice a week. Previously, I wrote about the hen's head being swollen, one eye being shut completely, and bleeding ears. She was still eating and...

I have a pullet who’s got a rough, black bump on her comb. It’s pretty large, however looking through some old photos, and it seems like she’s had black on that part of her comb, since she joined us back in July of this year and the black spot is larger because her comb is(including photos from...

I have a hen (stinky, yes that’s her name lol) and she’s been broody for a few weeks…ughh. Well I went to gather eggs today and I looked at her and saw all these scabs on her face and comb and ear, BUT it’s only on this one side. Is this fowl pox or just other chickens pecking her? She does...

Hello, everyone :) This is my first post and I wanted to use it to clear out some doubts about fowl pox. First of all, an 8 week old plymouth hen started to show little black scabs on her comb and eyes 5 days ago, so I immediately proceeded to isolate her from the rest of the flock. I have...

Hello. I have a year old Easter Egger hen who I noticed yesterday has these raised white spots on her comb. They almost look like calcium deposits that are stuck to the comb. When I researched this, most results that pop up are about it being early signs of fowl pox. I have not noticed any...

Rhode Island Red growing like a weed. 3.5 weeks now. Good natured. No issues but noticed this little bump. It's hard, located under bottom beak like where wattle would grow and on one side, her left, only. Does not ooze, although I touched, bot squeezed. Could not be dry Fowl Pox from what I've...

Hello. One of my hens got these scab like things on her waddle area quite some time ago but I saw it as nothing until today since I just thought an animal might attacked her. past few days she has stopped laying and had become very inactive and not interested in food. I wouldn't worry to much...

Hi Y'all! I believe I have 2 (of 8) chickens with fowl pox. I live in Austin, Texas and the mosquitos were definitely around this summer. I'm looking for any help with where to get vaccines or current treatment for the outbreak.

Hello, I have a happy, seemingly healthy young chick born mid April. She showed a few black spots on her comb. One quickly became inflamed and scabbed over. Now she has one on her eye and one on her chest. They get bigger daily. Is this fowl pox? If so, do I just use the sprays or vaccinate? If...

Mild blood warning! Can anyone help me with this? My frizzle cochin Cujo has red and mildly bloody sores on both sides of her face, above the eyes. They’re both in the same area so I think it’s from her constantly scratching her head. She’s broody at the moment, and tends to do the constant...
