-Brutal Avian Pox-but happy ending.
My jungle fowl/standard chicken breed (I crossed them) have been fighting a brutal case of avian pox for a few weeks now. 4 out of the 18 have had their eyes swollen shut, been having to hand/force feed them for a few weeks now. But the scabs are falling off and they can see again. She started clucking when it did. What a nightmare, graphic photos included!
