My girls (and my boy) have black spots that weren't there before. Is it fowl pox? Here are some Pics from a week ago along with pics from today: Betty on 12/1: Betty on 12/7: Fudge Stripes on 12/1: Fudge Stripes on 12/7 Ken on 12/1: Ken on 12/7: Bar-B (I don't have a 12/1 pic, just a 12/7 pic):
X2 Looks like peck marks to me too. This is what Fowl Pox looks like https://the-chicken-chick.com/fowl-pox-prevention-treatmen/
That's a relief. Fowl Pox is 'going around' the Phoenix area. My birds are a long way away from there, but I've been down there almost every week for a while now.
Dry fowl pox are the most common, and not really that much to worry about. As a general rule, when the chickens are very healthy, and they get dry fowl pox, it's not usually overly severe, and it doesn't last very long. Yes, there are a few exceptions, but darn few.
I also agree that those look like peck marks. How old are they? If they are youngsters approaching point of lay when their hormones are surging, it can lead to them getting fractious with each other and minor pecking injuries occur. Having plenty of space helps prevent things from getting overly aggressive.
Four are a couple years old, one is 6 months, and the cockerel is 4 months. I did have to keep them cooped up in just their run a few days ago, where I usually let them free range. Tried to give them lots to do in their pen, but I guess it wasn't enough.
