The first picture is of Petunia, I’m pretty sure that’s fowl pox, but wanted to get yalls opinion? The other pictures are of my other 3 chickens. Does it look like they all have fowl pox? I have iodine for the scabs and electrolytes for their water.

Yes, it looks like most of them have the dry form of fowl pox, a virus carried by mosquitoes. It lasts around a month. Do not disturb the scabs. Iodine can sometimes help to dry out the scabs, but isn’t always necessary. There is no treatment for it. A more serious type of pox is wet fowl pox, which causes yellow plaques inside the beak and throat.
