So I noticed inflamed spots showing up on my roosters comb and wattle, and I looked it up and I think it's fowl pox, and it spread to my other cockrel and pullet. Can anyone correct me if I'm wrong and what I should do to treat it.

Yes, I think that may be a mild case of fowl pox. No treatment is needed. It will usually go away in around 3 weeks. It is a virus spread by mosquitoes during warm weather. The dry for. Is not very serious in grown chickens, but the wet or diphtheritic type that causes yellow lesions inside the beak and throat can be more deadly.
