Is it avian pox?

[Srlimon]

Hi all, I have a small flock of 3 hens.
2 of them are younger just about 20 weeks. Today I noticed 2 black spots in one of the young comb, and 1 spot on the other young chook.

Is it a case of avian pox or any other desease ? Or is it a coagulated blood from a pecking incident?
They are both from a reputable aviary and were sold as vacinated (altough I have no way to check if they actually were and to what desiases)

Any course of action I can take to minimise the spread? They otherwise look healthy and active.
Thanks

I think that it is just a healing wound from when your chickens have had a disagreement. Nothing to worry about.

X2 on it looks like a couple of peck wounds. Do you have warm weather with mosquitoes out at this time?

Warm weather yes but quite dry here in western australia. My location dont have much mosquitoes.

For future reference, here are a couple of good articles about fowl pox:
