i live in texas, what can i do about it? will it keep on spreading?

It will keep spreading unless the other birds are vaccinated. You can put ointment on the lesions to help them heal faster, and putting electrolytes or apple cider vinegar in the water can help.

what happens if you vaccinate a chicken that already has fowl pox?

Personally, it doesnt look like fow pox very much to me, but, I could be wrong. . I would agree with Wyorp, and suggest leaving it unless it develops into something more noticeable. In which you can take the precautions above.

Do you know what else it could be, would you like to see close ups?

It doesn't do anything. Once the bird has the virus, there is no treatment.

Using ointments can help, in some situations. And ACV or electrolytes in the water. Other than that, there is no treatment.
