My rooster's comb has spots

[AmeliasMama]

Alabama is 8 months old I'm not sure his breed, he was sold to us as a chocolate sex link pullet. Obviously he isnt. He is white. He acts perfectly normal except he has black spots on his comb. He isnt pecked at, he rules the roost so to speak. Eating, pooping, sleeping, socializing, crowing all are normal. Nobody else has this condition, just him. He sleeps in a warm, well ventilated coop at night and free ranges during the day. Any idea how I can take care of him to get rid of this?

First thought Pox but then looks like bites? Have you checked for mite or lice or any biting bugs? Is he the only one with this problem?

Looks like injuries. Does he fight with anyone, that you've noticed?

No fighting that I have seen.

Sometimes they get pecked by the hens while roosting, I'd see if that's what is happening.

Coach, I think you hit on it, but not while roosting. I've noticed my girls and sometimes other roos gathering around a hen being mated and peck at the rooster doing the deed. I betcha thats it!
