Fowl pox (dry)

[22ChickenNuggets]

I’m pretty sure my black giants and Black stars have fowl pox. I mean it looks like it? Any advice?

That looks like a comb injury possibly from running into metal fencing and pecking.

On the fence whether it's fowl pox. Fowl pox is more large wart like. But it could be a mild case.

So all my black stars and black giants (10) would have the same injury? I’m thinking after further looking into it. Seems like it’s just hyperpigmentation.

It well could be pigmentation, but I don’t see any evidence of fowl pox.

I’m really thinking that now. I feel like my entire flock would have fowl pox, it’s only the Black giants and black stars. I’m always quick to jump to something bad, it’s a personality flaw. 🤦‍♀️ I mean they are all eating, drinking, foraging, laying eggs daily. I’ll keep my eye on it.
