Black dots - combs....Picking or Pox?....UPDATED w/ pics**

Looks just like mine do when they squabble.. We've still got a couple too many roosters, and they are always grabbing at each other-- and they all end up with those scabby "lines" that go away in a few days.

Nurse Nettie, i got 4 roos in my spring order ( they were supposed to be sexed). I'm down to 1 now, and the whole flock is so much more peaceful. Even with 21 hens (2 stopped laying) 2 roos was too much. I'd bet that those black spots in the pic are just from being pecked.

What do you think? Mine have little dots too. Hopefully nothing, but I was just looking over all the pullets tonight and noticed this.

I lost one this morning, so now I'm paranoid.
