bald dry patch advice wanted please

[joegwendolyn]

i have just noticed that one of my 3 baby chicks has got a bald spot on the back of its neck, it also looks a bit dry and feels like there is a bit of a lump to it, was wondering if it could have been pecked or if it could be something else anyone had anything like this before please give me some advice thanks

I'm not sure but for the dryness some olive oil will help. I sometimes use it on my sons eczema.

Picture maybe? I don't know what it is...

if it is growing a lump I would say it is mareks
and mareks is a cancer
there is no cure for it
It will sluff off dander to the othr chicks

I would use some vaseline carbolated if you have it and put that on the dry area
probably won't cure it but may make feathers come back in
Neosporin salve also can help dryness
