So @sourland and @Wyorp Rock you were right, it's fowl pox. I guess I quarantined the affected birds too late because now half my flock has it. It's not afffecting their eyes, there are just ash colored dots all over their combs and wattles, obviously dry fowl pox (they all still are behaving...

Thanks Abriana and sourland. Update: I checked all my birds and a third hen has the same thing going on (another Speckled Sussex, same age). Also, the Welsummer, who was the first to develop the problem, seems to be healing up actually. I can see her eye, which she didn't lose; it had just been...
