pox

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?

Waiting for a response from the avian vet / rehabbers. A lot of places around me have a 1 month + wait; doesn't help that im from an area where it's uncommon to have pet birds and wild life rescues. My dad brought him to me after seeing his parent get attacked by a cat at the park. I've been...

Dear BYC, I need your help. I have this dear serama chicken. Here’s the story: It started with dry pox and then he’s having swelling around his head. Brought him to the local vet, doctor said that those swellings are pus and prescribed antibiotic (for 14 days), anti inflamatory, multivitamin...

Aloha! One of our Easter Eggers, Mia, has some sores on her face, waddle, and comb. I can't tell if these are wounds or pox. We do see her getting pecked at by another hen, which started recently after she had a week of being broody. Could she be getting pecked at because she was broody (its...

We work in a rural area and have adopted some chickens that live at an employee's house around the corner. Momma had a few babies to start with, then went home to sit on eggs and brought back 8 more baby chicks just a few weeks ago. . We started to notice last week most of the babies have some...

About nine dags ago one hen, Trish (The tan/white one) grew some lumps around one of her eyes. A few days later she got a bump in front of the other eye. A day after that bump appeared it turned into the color of a blood blister. She's behaving normally, eating, drinking, etc. but possibly has...

We have a Rhode Island Red or a similar looking mix with scabbing on the side of her right lower beak accompanied by a black swelling inside her lower beak and a swollen right side of her face, causing the right eye to be mostly closed. She isn't acting odd other than basically blind in the one...

Not sure why the photo is sideways… I have a guinea who is becoming a bit of a bully. I just noticed these black spots on this guy’s comb this evening, and I’m assuming they are pecking scabs from said guinea, but I wanted to get feedback. Hoping it’s not pox!!!

Please help my indoor chickens..... They have black spots growth or wound on their feet .... been placing betadine and also oregano extract on their feet... not only on their feet there seems to have white spot on their comb / wattle. Multiple chickens involved. 2 pullet 5 month old, 3 2month...

Hey all I have been lurking on this community for YEARS and I have found your advice so helpful. I have read a few posts about this issue because I noticed one of my hens has a swollen nose area a few days ago. She also has a bit of an open wound and she is lowest in the pecking order in my...

Hello fellow chicken lovers! My gorgeous faverolles hen has had several hard white lumps on one of her comb points for quite a long time now. They've gotten slightly larger since they appeared last year (she's 4) but not changed much. In the last few weeks, another has started forming at the...

Hi all, Well my Chelsea girl is spending time outside again after her hawk attack (or possible neighbors dog attack). And I just noticed yesterday this little bump on her face by her beak. It is flesh toned not black or dark color and today there are more. She spent 3 weeks in my house getting...

All, I wanted people to know what I have found that seems to be working for my chickens that have wet pox. I met a woman that rescues birds and sees a lot of canker. She uses Emtryl to cure it. It's online only or you can find Medizole at some feed stores. It's for pigeon canker. She was taking...

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...

So my month old chicks have got fowl pox.. they have huge bumps on their beak and face. They also do eat and drink. I read some threads which suggested that they dont do anything about these pox and they go away by time. But i want to try some home remedy? Or anything that work in helping them...

I have a hen that has been raising chicks for 3 weeks now. I noticed yesterday that her face has swollen lesions and she has sneezed a few times. I separated her from her chicks and administered Tylan 50 as i saw a few bubbles in her eyes and assumed it was a respiratory disease. She has been in...

This poor thing just came into the ER where I work. The owner doesn’t have much information to offer and isn’t sure how long the bird has been sick. It does have red mites and it’s respirations sound wet and gurgley. Periodically, it stretches its neck and gasps. It’s left eye is almost...

Hello there, my family and I have had chickens for many years. In the past year, as our flock has increased, a few of our chickens have gotten pox. They all got better on their own. About 10 days ago our rooster’s eye began to puss. Now it has swollen shut and is crusty and still pussing. He has...

I experienced wet Pox last summer it was tragic. I looked it up and there is literally no cure but to try to boost their immune system. I thought it was canker at first but there was yellow balls of plaque strewn down yhe back of their throat and chunks growing in their air holes. We pulled the...

Hi everybody *Please see attached photos* :( :( I have an Easter Egger that is about 2-3 years old. She recently came down with a bad case of canker...or pox (wet or dry?) and I am new to these diseases...I have isolated her from the other chickens. She has a horribly disfiguring lesion(?) on...
