Small black scabs on comb, pox?

[Hollyparkyyorkshire]

Hi all, I adopted some unwanted hens yesterday, one has lots of small black scabs on her comb. I currently have her isolated, she has no scabs on her eyes/mouth or missing feathers. I'm unsure if these scabs are from fighting as where she was collected from there was a number of birds all housed together in a small area. Or if this is hen pox? dry or wet? If this is pox, are there any recommended treatments? Please see pictures. Thanks ever so much.

Looks like she has been picked on.

Yup looks like she's been getting pecked at

Probably fighting with another rooster. My Cornish cross cockerels get into scrappy fights and grab each others combs

I agree with the others, the scabs are from picking.

You mention you adopted new hens yesterday - do you already have an existing flock? If you do, then how are you quarantining the new hens?

I have 3 existing hens and 2 new girls, I'm using an old spare coup with a connecting run for the newbies at the moment, so there have been no formal introductions!
