Hey y'all so I noticed just this morning that one of my 2 yr old hens has a small lesion on her wattle and another little one on her comb.
I'm worried it might be dry fowl pox. 😬

From what I can tell she has just the two, and none on her beak or in her mouth.
I can see that the one on her wattle goes all the way through the skin but it only puffs out on the one side.
Here are some pictures ā¬‡ļø

Also want to ad she has been eating and drinking fine, and doesn't seem lethargic at all.
 
Does that scab on the corner of the beak extend inside the beak?

Hard to tell if it's Fowl Pox or not. The small lesion on the wattle might be(?) but it could just be injury.

If you wish, you could paint the lesions/scabs with Iodine to help them heal up.

The wattle, I wouldn't be too concerned about at this time, but I'd check the beak frequently to make sure that's healing.
