Looks like a fight happened but I’m worried No mites sited no scratching. Clean under wings and vent

Some of the pictures are out of focus. The first pic does look like pecking injury. They can also get injured by running into chickenwire or bushes when being chased. Fowl pox (a virus carried by mosquitoes) scabs can vary in appearance, so here are some some links with pictures of what it can look like:

Thank you. I was hoping that it was just pecking. Do you have any suggestions on what to put on it. They don’t seem uncomfortable and let me touch their combs. They are in a run that’s 14x10. And the coop is 4x6 with 2 roosting bars and 4 nests
