Wart/Poultry pox?
« on: March 15, 2013, 17:55 »
Hi, we bought our Buff Orpington from a Surrey breeder 3/4 weeks ago and she's developed a growth/wart on her beak and it's now starting to close one nostril.
When we first got her, she was sneezing but I put this to her being unaccustomed to being outside, however earlier this week I noticed this growth that I'm sure is new.  Poultry pox would affect her wattles and comb wouldn't it?  Apart from this 1 large wart, everything else is fine and my 3 other chickens seem fine too.
Does anyone know what this is?  I've tried to attach a picture but am not sure whether it's worked

Hi anyone,
any thoughts?  I've attached another photo - it makes it look slightly bigger than it really is but gives you more of an idea why Im worried!

I think a trip to the vets is in order.  Then when you find out what it is you can get in touch with the breeder. :)
