Both of my Hens, Brahmas have the little round scabs. I just saw it. I washed their feet put some alcohol on it and put Neosporin on them. Normally I would keep them in an area for a couple days but it's so hot, I don't want to keep them locked up. So, I will do this daily until I can see if they need to be removed. Neither one of them is showing any signs of being uncomfortable, so it looks like I caught it early. I had this long ago on an older Hen, Madonna, and when I was able to pull the scab and cut it off at the cord attaching it to the foot. I didn't know at the time what it was or that she had a problem til I saw her limping. I thought she had stepped on something. Thankfully, she healed up beautifully, with the same care tactic. So, they should be fine.
