Is this fowl pox?

I noticed these little black speckles on some of my younger hens comb recently as well as some on my older hens I inherited with the coop. My rooster has historically had some scabbing in his comb from a previous injury that resulted in him being picked on while he was stationary. Are any of the dots/scabs possibly fowl pox?

Thanks for any help or perspective.
