Fowl pox or injury?

[foofergirl]

Hi! First time chicken owner here. I noticed today during my feeding and water change these spots on my 18 week Australorp’s comb. Could this be early fowl pox or an injury of some sort? She has two other hens in the flock with her and they do not have these on them. She is eating and drinking normal, acting normal as well. We have had a TON of mosquitoes this year, so I was a bit concerned when I saw these pop up. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!

The two spots on her wattle are fowl pox. There's not really anything you can do about it, you just have to let it runs its course. Also it's not something to be really worried about, unless it gets pretty bad.

Thank you for the quick reply!
