Fowl Pox? Please help ~PICS~

[ChirpyChicks1]

Both of my Black Sex Links have tiny tiny blueish dots on their comb and wattles. My first thought was maybe it was just the breed but I can't find any pictures like what my pullets are experiencing. Tonight I noticed there is one spot on the comb of one of my Red Sex Links. The BSL don't like to be man handled so I can't be sure how long they have had these spots but I do know it appears to be getting worse and I first noticed it a few weeks ago.

I'd like to add that all my chickens are acting completely healthy in every way, normal poop, great food/water intake, attack me for treats, no discharge, no hard breathing, no nothing.

Please help

Your BSL looks normal to me. If they are ALL eating, drinking, and acting like a chicken should...I wouldnt worry about it.

Thank you for replying! So it's normal for their comb/wattles to have spots like that? Is that for all breeds or just BSL? I had assumed it was a BSL thing at first until I saw one of my red sex links doing the same thing so I figured I better start asking, better safe than sorry!

UPDATED PIC

Here is a new picture from this morning. I tried rubbing it and nothing came off. I don't see how this can be "normal" I've looked at a ton of pictures and have never seen this. Every tip on her comb is dark

I have some that have multi-colored combs, some with almost black combs, I think she's just fine.
