That looks to be Fowl dry fowl pox.

it would be a good idea to apply something to the lesions to prevent tissue, and or ocular damage and further spread. For that, you could use something like Terramycin, Neosporin, or Iodine.

If the hen in the photo is the only one affected, you could administer the fowlpox vaccine to the other birds which would help reduce spread.

In addition to the measures mentioned above, providing the birds with vitamins, specifically ones that contain zinc, may help as zinc is a key mineral in maintaining their immune response to these viral diseases. Keeping their feeders waterer cleans, and reducing mosquito population if present would be a good idea too.
