Fowl pox producing foot lesions?

Hey y’all. So today I noticed two of my Easter Egger hens have these weird blackish lesions on the tops of their feet. I did some research but it doesn’t look like bumblefoot or anything else to me. I have no idea what they are, so I just decided to keep an eye on them.

Then, a couple of minutes ago I was putting everyone to bed and I noticed a yellow lesion that looks like fowl pox on a bantam hen’s comb. (I have dealt with fowl pox before, but that was 4 years ago. The we only have one hen left from that batch of chickens).

This got me thinking: if one of my hens has fowl pox, could anyone else? And could these lesions I am seeing on the hens feet be some strange way the virus is presented?

What do y’all think about it?

Absolutely. Fowl pox lesions can appear on the feet and legs. They'll go away on their own in about 4-6 weeks, same with facial/comb lesions.
