Normally when I see it its crusty but this isn't. Also we are inadated with mosquitos and they are the cause.

Yes, it's fowl pox. You can put iodine on the nodules to help dry them up. Avoid the eyes.

Thank you. Wasn't 100% on it as I've never seen them not crusty.

They will be in time. Most likely they were infected with the virus just a short time ago.

I agree, it is fowl pox virus. It lasts about a month, and most grown chickens recover well. Chicks may get larger lesions that can block their nostrils or eyes, which may make it hard to see food and water, or to breathe.

Dry fowl pox may not be as serious as the wet pox, which causes yellowish lesions inside the beak and throat. If any act as though they cannot eat or get very weak, look inside their beaks. Here is some reading about the 2 forms of pox:
