This black spot showed up on one of my chickens this morning. She is a 5 month old Easter Egger. Is it just an injury? Thanks in advance for any input!

pretty sure it a injury . Fowl pox will be flat and rough round blotches small to start and grow bigger . Is she alone or with others ? Treat it with Neosporin . If she is alone check for a wire sticking out that she could run into.

thank you. I'll keep an eye on it. It should go away soon if it's an injury. Poor girl was probably pecked.
