little black sores/lesions

[lobster omlette]

first good morning, 2 out of 3 of my chickens have these little black sores/lesions on there hood and the other piece under there chin (excuse my ignorance so fla urbanite here and don't know much about chickens except that they are really cool and I love the fresh eggs!!!) but the lesions aren't wet or oozing thought they might be ticks at first glance but not. I'm feeding them Purina scratch and feed with a little Purina protein feed mixed in with it. They have plenty of water and 3or4 cool shady spots in the yard to relax, but a couple of them haven't laid eggs in 4 days. Hoping it's not nothing serious, meaning get some meds anti-biotics so I can take care of my 3 little girls. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks lobster omlette

Can you posts pictures? The "hood" is called a comb and the piece under their chin is called a wattle. It's possible that they are bickering a little and what you're seeing is dried blood spots.

Could be pecking or dry fowl pox (which is usually not a big deal). post a pic if you can!
