That's fowl pox. It'll run it's coarse over a few weeks.
It's a virus transmitted by mosquitoe bites.

After the birds got it, they become naturally immune to it, & can't get it again.

The only form of fowl pox you don't want is wet fowl pox. If they had that it'll require assistance while they get over it.
 
I figured it was fowl pox but wanted to confirm. We never had this before in any of my flocks ever! I just clean lesions with iodine or vetericyn right? And i believe I read somewhere before you can add iodine to their drinking water? Is that necessary? I separated her shes in my smaller coop that has been empty at moment. Should I use iodine or vetericyn?
