avian pox

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...

We have a Youth Market Turkey Show next week and our show bird displayed this black spot on the head, Could someone help ID it?

I need some advice one of my quail showed symptoms of avian pox, I already have it separated. I have 6 week old quails next to the adults where that sick quail was. and none of my quails are vaccinated. should I vaccinate all the quail that might have been exposed? Are my little quail in danger...

I live in Hawaii where we have a huge population of feral chickens. I am raising a flock of mostly silkies, along with two adopted feral chickens from the jungle. The two feral chickens have not had any vaccinations, but I want to look into that because this has me very worried. One of them...

This afternoon a wild bird appeared in front of our windows. Our house is only 100 yards or so from our chicken coops. It looks sick. 😭 I was going to put it out of it's misery, but by the time I got around the house to it, it was gone. 😔 What are your thoughts?!

I've had a fowl pox outbreak I've been dealing with for the last 5 weeks. The chick that was originally infected was hatched/being raised by a broody hen with 5 other siblings. The family has been quarantined from the rest of the flock. All of the chicks developed lesions except, strangely...

Hi, I've had a respiratory illness running through my flock. I'm based in asia. Symptoms watery nose, sneezing coughing. A couple have developed one eye closed. A couple smelt a little off. Some have had thick mucus. I have about 22 chickens. A couple have also developed black spots on their...

Ok so since my neighbors chickens have ventured over and mingled with my flock before I noticed we’ve had a slew of issues pop up! a Few hens started sneezing and then several others did as well as well as random ones getting runny noses. Rooster sounds like he’s got wheezy/rattly breathing as...

Hello all!! So I am fairly new to the chicken world. I made a rookie mistake. I bought all of my chickens as day old chicks from feed stores. I have 8 currently laying, two roosters and 40 some pullets varying in ages. I purchased 5 started pullets online from what I thought was a reputable...

My 1 year old roo has fowl pox- I’m almost certain of it. Started off with a cyst on his eye along with multiple bumps on his comb and waddles. He separated most of the time for breeding purposes. After a week of noticing it, it’s now covered all of his head skin. Is there anything I can do...

I am posting again here because I got no responses the first time and I really need advice please. I discovered one of my chicks with her beak weird and lost it when i saw this growth that is across most of the roof of her mouth. i looked back on photos and have been able to calculate that...

I have an 8.5 y/o leghorn and two 3 y/o sexlinks. They recently have had an outbreak of lice, I treated the coop with permethrin and DE and it seems to be much better. They had scaly leg mites and mite bites on their combs as well but I have been doing foot soaks and applying petroleum jelly or...

I am wondering if this could be avian pox and if so is there any treatment that I need to do?

I’ve had two chickens die of fowl pox. How to I protect my remaining flock?

I have a 6 month old Barnvelder hen who is showing symptoms of what I believe are Avian Pox (the spots on her comb & wattle) and a respiratory illness (the foamy eye). I haven't seen either of these symptoms in my birds before, and have made these assumptions based on research I've done here at...

I want to document a case of avian pox. We had this in our flock last year and it was really scary because of how ugly it looks and how long it lasts. We actually lost 2 birds to this because we didnt know what to do. I want to try to help anyone new to this. It is NOT blackhead which is deadly...
