Fowl pox, or nothing to worry about?

[littlefarmgirl9]

A few days ago I noticed some spots on Dagny's comb. She is a three year old Barred Rock hen. I thought they were dirt but they didn't rub off. There was also a tiny cut on her wattles and one on her earlobe, all on the same side of her head, that have now scabbed over and turned black. I've seen one or two similar spots on my other hens, but none of them have shown any other symptoms. They have laid less lately, but I assume it's normal for their ages, two and three, and when they're preparing to molt.
I don't think anything needs to be done, but I'd rather catch a big problem early than lose some birds. What do you think?

Can you take a pic?

Its more than likely a simple peck to to the comb.A bloody sore usually becomes a simple black crusty scab.

That's what I was thinking too, but a few more have them. Dagny has it worst, though, and it's still barely visible.

She blinked when I took one of the pictures, as you can see. Sorry but I have a bad camera. It's the middle of the bottom of the comb and the tip of the wattle.
Thank you!

Looks like a pecking sore.She looks happy and healthy.

She looks beautiful from your pictures. I agree with MasterOfClucker. Hope it's just a few boo boos. Good luck and keep us posted on how your girls are doing.

Ok thanks!
Like I said, I wouldn't have worried if the others hadn't had them. Usually I worry about my chickens for no reason, so this puts my worries to rest.

Fowl Pox would be more like this.

Gotcha. I'll let y'all know if anything changes, which I doubt.
Thanks again for being helpful and prompt!
