Callous/Scab on wing joints young chicks

[redinator]

I noticed a couple bare patches on the wing joint of two of my incubator chicks, currently in a pen in the run. I wasn't concerned initially since they are at the ragged age (lol) but now I'm seeing scabs or calluses.

It doesn't seem to hurt or bother the chicks, just look unsightly, and they still fly fine. There are 9 chicks in the same pen and only two with the problem, and it's only on the wing joint, so I don't think it's mites, but what do I know? Is there something I can put on the scab/callous to help it heal faster, or just let it be?

Can you provide a picture of the callouses and show where on the wings they're located? It doesn't sound normal, though I feel like there's one spot that I can imagine it being. If it's callouses, then they should be left be. There'd definitely be some rubbing happening in order for them to be there.

If it's scabs, then I'd be more concerned. There could be pecking involved, or injuries.

I thought I did . . . here's the picture . . .

I find it odd to be in the exact same spot on both chicks if it were pecking or feather picking injury.
