Rhode island chick with wartlike growths around the eyes

[ReiK]

Has anyone encountered muscle-like cyst growths around the eyes on a 2-4week old rhode island chicks. No issue found on their eating/drinking. Still active just has the growths. Photo is attached.

How do you treat this?

Thank you in advance for any response.

Could it be fowl pox? It can cause bumps and lesions, but usually they are accompanied by scabs.

I think it probably is Fowl Pox.
If it stays dry form, then it should resolve on it's own over the course of several weeks.
Fowl Pox is much harder on chicks since they seem to get the brunt of it. Sometimes the scabs can grow over the eyes, which it doesn't look like it so far.
See that everyone is eating/drinking well. Keep water stations cleaned and sanitized. Do your best to reduce the amount of mosquitoes.
Hopefully it won't get any worse.

Hoping that it will really resolve on its own and not worsen up. will try to diminish the mosquitoes.thank you

it slightly worsen by also having another swelling. But became stagnant, no growth no shrinking… still hoping it will shrink and be gone….
