Could this be fowl pox?

[3kennedys]

I have a couple of chickens that have some tiny black specks on their combs. They are all eating and acting normal and the ones who are laying continue to do so. Any help is appreciated!

No, that doesn't look like fowl pox. They might just be insect bites, or minuscule injuries caused by other birds.

Thank you so much! Im very new to chicken keeping and since we have had so many mosquitoes I wanted to make sure! Thanks again!

I think that the black marks are just injury caused by the other birds (chickens always have some fighting marks), or insect bites. It does not look at all like your birds have Fowl Pox.
