HELP!!

[PVILLAGO]

2 of my 10 girls have this on their wattles.
They are eating and running around the yard and run. We are in Texas they get treats and frozen treats daily

They are 2yr 7mo old.
Any info appreciated.

Looks like fowl pox to me, you'll just have to let it run its course, so not really anything you can do.

I agree it looks like fowl pox, the dry form. (Wet fowl pox gets into the mucous membranes including the mouth and esophagus, and can be fatal.) Fowl pox is a virus that is usually spread by mosquitos. Your hens's pox is currently very mild; severe fowl pox can completely cover a bird's face and comb. Hopefully it will stay mild as it runs its course through your flock. Here is info on fowl pox.

No shots are needed.

Nah, they've ALL already been exposed.

On the upside, once they recover, they will have immunity.

Im very sorry.
If it is fowl pox, vaccinations do exist that can provide immunity in future...
