    What are these warts?

    Today I noticed these warts on my chicken, she has one on her beak and one on her right or left ear. I did a quick google search and it says it might be fowl pox. I think there are no treatments for fowl pox but vaccines. How can I treat these warts and what even is it? Thanks
