My chicken has black things on his comb. Another one has smaller black dots.

are these painful for them? Is it fowl pox?

if so, any home remedies to make them feel better? Will they die? :/

I just became an owner with 3 hens and all have fowl pox...my first time having chickens....no idea about this virus. It's hard to tell from the picture, however, look at mine and compare. I just noticed this 3 days ago...so im new to this... c528316f-fea8-4f2f-b599-4cb5b275b1f1.jpg

Fowl pox won't kill your bird, & this looks more like a peck wound from fighting.
Wet pox can be a killer though if not treated properly.

Fowl pox is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes, & will usually run it's coarse over about 3 weeks.
 
Looks like he got pecked on the comb. Most likely from a fight. Fowl pox is white.
Well my other chicken has little black specks all over his comb too. Looks like really little pen dots or something
