Chick Skin Issue

[Carrot_Mama]

4 week old Chocolate Silver Laced Orpington chick. Discovered in this condition this afternoon. Behaves normally, heavy as a brick, no signs of distress. No blood. Only a tiny area of broken skin shown by arrow. Some of the down is crispy and matted. I don’t see anything weeping. Skin is pink, warm, and dry. He has been in a large outdoor pen on wire mesh. Has boards (for foot relief) and a roost as well. Has lots of chick friends and none of them have this. I see no parasites. None of the other chicks seem to notice it at all.
Thank you for any input.

How old are all of the chicks? It looks like she has been feather picked by others.

It does look like she's been picked or maybe got caught in something.

I'd clean the area and cut with some saline or chlorhexidine, apply triple antibiotic ointment to the cut.

None of the chicks are more than a week older than he is. TY for the advice.
