I live in the tropics .
This hen is 5 months old and has this started on her comb.
First I thought it was from the rooster grabbing on to it because she has just started squatting for him.
And it was on the last comb finger.
But then quickly 5 more 'things' have come up. On her wattles as well
It looks like they are coming from inside out rather than been pecked or something.
I put iodine on it at first but now there are 5 more small ones coming up all with in a week of each other.
I have a small flock of 8 and haven't seen this before
Kind of new at this and hope to treat her if i can
She is happy and eating well.
The flock is fenceless freerange so no overcrowding here

Yes I am thinking avian pox, dry
It seems to fit.
Righty ho, I am better informed now
Thanks
 
Looks like pox to me also. I didn`t check the link, but when pox shows up, I vaccinate all my chickens. Vaccine is available at most feed stores and is easy to apply with a helper. It doesn`t cure them as they will heal as it runs it`s course, but it seems to stop the spread........Pop
