Duramycin-10 is a 10 day at the minimum to 14 day regular dose medication, 3 days is inadequate.
You vaccinated members of your flock who did not get it? Otherwise it will move slowly thru the flock and last for months and months and can result in carriers.
This hen is sick, right? Now she is last on the pecking order and sick. She needs to be on meds for longer. If she has a bad case of pox I would not keep her. :( I cull chickens with fowl pox.

We gave duramyzin-10 (antibiotic)for three days. I know fowl pox is a virus, but maybe there was a secondary infection. Is there any other medicine for fowl pox? We don't have a large selection of medications at our feed/seed stores. I'm wondering if I should isolate her again and give her more medication? The other hens have increased their aggressive behavior towards her.
