Small black scabs on comb, pox?

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!

So you aren't quarantining the new birds.

I would at least check them very well for lice/mites and have a fecal float to look for worms.

Thank you, lice and mite check done. Fully caged in run is located 3 fields away from current hens, so yes not fully quarantined just separated. Thanks for your time and advice, much appreciated.

I see, I think I misread where you were keeping them. It's great that you have the new birds as far away as you can so you can monitor them for signs of illness.
From what I see in the photo the girl is clear eyed and alert, but you never know if they have something that they can pass along. The only thing is the scabs on the comb, those should heal up and fall off soon.

Good luck with your new birds, I hope all goes well for you.
