Can chickens get dry skin?

[chickfused]

It's winter. The humidity is in the 20% range. My one chicken with a HUGE comb and wattles (Ancona hen) is pale. She got a tiny bit of frostbite on the very tip of two combs. She is 100% normal in activity, egg laying, eating, everything. Her feathers are shiny and her eyes are bright. I just feel the need to lotion her up, but I don't want to do it because it's too cold for her to be wet. Should I do something anyway when it's warmer during the day? Could she be sick? Or is it just dry winter on a big combed breed?

This is my Edna. The yellow squares are the wee bit of frostbite. The general paleness started at the same time. Edna is 9 months old and vaccinated for Marek's.

Here's a pic of her roo for comparison.

I don't see anything alarming. I wouldn't apply an lotion or oil to the comb during cold weather.

Is she pale or is it just the picture making her look pale? Edited to add that I see you mentioned that she is pale. Have you checked her over for lice and mites? This is best done well after dark.

I haven't seen any evidence of lice or mites. She doesn't itch at all or groom excessively. She's getting redder as our humidity increases.
