Hello everyone, I noticed my Rooster's comb was looking kind of dry and so I got a closer look and I think this is fowl pox? And it looks like my girls have it too. what should I do? is there a home remedy? is it serious? below is a picture attached. Thank you everyone!

Yes, it does look like dry fowl pox. There is no treatment, but some will paint Betadine 10% solution on the scabs to help them dry out. Otherwise, do not disturb the scabs. Make sure they are all eating and drinking normally. If scabs get near an eye, you can dab a little Terramycin eye ointment or plain Neosporin into the eye. If one looks especially ill, look inside the beak and throat for any yellow patches that might be wet pox. Here is some reading:
