Does this look like fowl pox?! I have 4 girls and one of them has these black scab looking things on her comb. I’ve included pictures of her and her 3 sisters. If she does have it, will the other girls get it too? Can they be vaccinated at this age? They are 20 weeks. Or is it too late if they all have it? Also I have 3 baby chicks in a brooder still and have been putting them in the run with the other girls separated by hardware cloth for daily outings from the brooder. Should I vaccinate them? How do I keep my littles safe if it isn’t too late? Does anyone have any experience with fowl pox that can guide me on what to do? I’m kinda freaking out! Could these be just peck marks? I’ve never seen them pick on each other but I do work all day every day. Idk.

I'm with @Wyorp Rock...this isn't fowl pox. I wouldn't personally do anything either, other than keep an eye on the spots to check they aren't getting any worse. Some poultry owners vaccinate, while others do not. I've read up on the available vaccines for some of the common diseases and they aren't worth it to me due to the location I'm in and size of the flock I keep. Try not to freak out/worry. Your birds look good!
