Please help

Although, it looks like it is dark and late in these photos... or it could be the lighting.

It is dark and late. I work an hour away from home, by the time I leave work and run to a couple of stores before getting home, it gets dark. But, helps me check on the chickens better when i don't have to chase them around. I get them when they're roosting.
 
Get clearer pics.

I am almost 100% certain this is Fowl Pox. Some strains of it are nearly harmless, and some strains are dangerous to them, and there's really no way that I know of to tell them apart. If you've got them separated, and if the mosquito problem is taken care of, once the scabs have healed up, it should be safe to put them back in with the rest of the flock. Best of luck that this is a mild form, and not the wet form.
 
Definitely not dirt.

It probably is Fowl Pox.
Don't mess with the scabs...it can spread it.

Just leave them be and wait it out.
There is no reason to separate your birds unless one is getting picked on. Separating them is stressful and stress makes all illnesses worse.

Thanks a lot. I hope it’s not the bad one :(
