That is a gorgeous healthy looking bird.
 
She looks totally normal to me. Can you circle the area you're concerned about?
I cannot believe my Gmail put this in my junk mail and I just found it. her comb is all bunched down and it never was like that before and she has black on her. My other hen her eye is all black around it and her comb is in lumps somebody mention it might be poultry pox. I bought some really great vitamins for them to try to help them. But I really don’t know what else to do I studied on poultry pox. Said is carried by mosquitoes or gnats. But there’s not too much you can do but give them vitamins and minerals. I’m trying to explain it because I’m really not sure how to circle and send a picture. Thank you for your help
 
I can't see anything that is off either!
This is a rose comb (I believe) and totally normal for some breeds. She kinda looks like a Brahma or a Brahma mix ... not an expert on Brahma. But there is absolutely nothing wrong with her! :) :)
 
Are you talking about the black dot on each side of the comb where the comb meets the beak? That is the only thing I can think of that you are talking about.
Pictures of the chicken from the side would help and pictures of the other chickens would help also.

Okay, so I don't see the black dots. Can you take a closer picture of those?
Her comb looks like that because she has a pea comb. Different chicken breeds can have different comb types. The most common comb is the single comb. But, there are also pea combs, walnut combs, v combs, rose combs, etc.
