Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 I'm pretty sure we have an outbreak of Fowl Pox. Three of my girls have been a bit miserable over the weekend. Still eating and drinking, but just not as enthusiastic as normal. They have little scab like lesions on their wattles and combs, which is typical of the disease. None of them are ill enough for me to take them to the vet at the mo but the situation is under constant review. They have been given Avipro and yoghurt...the evidence of which can be seen on Nugget's beak. Watch this space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gamebird Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Sorry to hear about your poorly chickens but they couldn't be in better hands. From what I've read about fowl pox it usually disappears in a couple of weeks so let's hope they are all back to good health soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superjules Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Poor things. Hope they get better soon. Where would they have picked it up from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted April 14, 2008 Author Share Posted April 14, 2008 Thanks. According to everything I have read, there is no specific treatment. I'm just keeping an eye in case anything secondary takes over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
