Makschinchin:
Good evening all, as seen in the picture, what kind of ailment is this?... It has affected some of my birds for many days now despite the fact that I have given them med. And it is hindering the birds from eating well and also affected their sight... Any help or med that will be very effective please??

fowl pox. treatable. locally treated by rubbing locust bean on the birds. without salt preferably or use poxcure with oxytetracycline.

Avian pox. Streptomycin powder works like magic.

Separate the affected ones from the healthy ones quickly.

Thanks all for your input.. lots of differing opinions though...

UPDATE: The Chicken survived the sickness and is alive and healthy now Could have sent pics, but it's night now, maybe some other time..
The only issue is that other birds are really picking on this particular bird, probably because it has been on isolation for too long, like weeks... The bird is so fearful and can't stand staying in the midst of others.. I'll just continue keeping it separate since others are always beating it

I happy for the bird oooo

Thanks for all you shared... The method I mostly used was rubbing the affected areas with palm oil yes, palm oil and some antibiotics... Thank God it worked and the bird didn't die from the sickness even though we all at home gave up on the bird na original okuko igbo, onyili onwu

In Ibadan in those days they also rubbed Kerosene on it to dry it up

Dogoyaro leaves are also useful for rubbing on it and drinking with water for the Chicken

Fowl pox
