Black looking substance under chicken wing, need help!

[JDWJR]

We have four hens born in February 2013. I noticed the feathers on one of their wings appeared to be sticking away from her body. When checking under the wing I found something that looked like a black type of mold under her feathers on her body and the feathers on her body in that area were coming out or turning to something looking like cotton. I have no idea what this could be, how to treat it if possible, or this is something that could spread. Any information you can provide would be appreciated.

I just can't understand - if you could post a good picture of this - maybe we can figure it out. In the meantime you should post on the "emergencies, diseases, inuries & cures," thread
