Pox Or Pecking Injuries?

[ashleyconnie]

Mixed flock just shy of 22 weeks old. About 6/12 have these little black scabs on their combs and my one Roo has them on his wattles, too. Should I be concerned about fowl pox? It doesn’t look like the photos I see of pox but I’m not sure what else it could be.

Everyone seems totally healthy & normal otherwise.

Looks like peck wounds.

I see those on my birds' combs too. I was worried, then realized that they "moved." By which I mean, some went away, and others showed up in another spot. My cockerel had one on his wattle which eventually got smaller and went away.

Definitely doesn't look like pox to me ...

Probably bug bites, mosquitos or gnats.
