Black spots on Comb and Wattles but no scabs

[Sylvia0223]

I have noticed about a week ago my 22 month old pullet got some darker spots on her comb and wattles. I don’t think it’s flock pox it only darker on one side and bottom of the wobbles. She likes to do dust bath so it might be dirt? I’m afraid to touch it. She is eating , laying , playing, free range and pooping fine. No issues no symptoms of flock pox. I have not notice any pecking around the 4 pullets, usually they walk and socialize all together well. Here is some photos I have. She didn’t had this 2 weeks ago when I look at the photos.

If they're small dark specks, they might be tiny scabs from superficial injuries. The comb and wattles are very blood rich tissue, so any little peck or scrape from a sharp surface can produce a spot of blood, which dries dark. Last summer, my cockerel had a lot of them.

That looks like damage done by running into wire or rubbing against fencing or something similar.

She have not done anything like that I watch them during the day they mostly free range all day long. At night they in the runway and just go inside the coop at night. There is only 4 pullets in a coop , and coop is big for 10-12 chickens so I don’t know where she could have done that ? Or how ?

I know this is an old thread but I have a hen whose comb and wattles look very similar! I’m trying to figure out what to do. What happened with this bird?
