This is chicken pox. Chicken pox is a kind of chicken virus, which is highly contagious. It is mainly transmitted through wounds on the skin or mucous membranes. Chickens with high density, overcrowding and injuries caused by fighting are easily infected.

Chicken pox can be divided into two types. One type (skin type) is a warty pox (pimple) growing in the place where the chicken's body is famous and feathered, especially in the comb, moustache and eye skin of the head. The other (diphtheria type) is to grow a gray-white tofu-like film on the mouth and throat, covering the mucosal surface.

Chicken pox can occur all year round. Generally, in autumn and winter, there are more pimples on the comb, meat beard and eye skin, and in winter, there are more mucosal chicken pox.

At present, there is no specific therapeutic drug for chicken pox, mainly symptomatic treatment. Generally, the acne scab on the skin is carefully peeled off with tweezers, and the wound is rubbed with iodine tincture. Diphtheria-type chicken pox can peel off the false membrane on the oral mucosa with tweezers, and then apply iodine glycerin or chloramphenicol, or cod liver oil. When the eyes of sick chickens are swollen, you can cut them with a knife, squeeze out the accumulated cheese-like things, rinse them with 2% boric acid solution, and then drop 5% protein silver solution.
