Is this fowl pox on my free rooster?
Our take
Is your rooster showing signs of fowl pox? If you’ve just picked him up and noticed unusual spots or lesions, it’s natural to be concerned about the health of your feathered friends. Fowl pox is a viral infection that can affect chickens, and while it’s not typically life-threatening, it can spread to your hens if not managed properly. Keeping your rooster in his own cage is a wise move until you can determine the next steps. In this guide, we’ll explore the symptoms of fowl pox, how to confirm the diagnosis, and what precautions you can take to protect your girls from this pesky virus. Let’s tackle this cluck-tastically together!

- Is this fowl pox?I noticed these little black speckles on some of my younger hens comb recently as well as some on my older hens I inherited with the coop. My rooster has historically had some scabbing in his comb from a previous injury that resulted in him being picked on while he was stationary. Are any of the dots/scabs possibly fowl pox? Thanks for any help or perspective. submitted by /u/Dry-Adhesiveness-56 [link] [comments]
