Hi I have had this chick for 1 week. It was supposed to be a week when I got it. It’s a mystic maran. It’s the same size as it’s sisters. Acting normally but it has weird down on its back/ back like dry almost. It looks better than it did last week but today this kind of super small burn/scrape seems to have appeared. Is there anything I should do or can do for her? We have 10 chicks total. She’s the only one like this. I don’t see any bugs or anything on her or anyone else.
Thankyou for any help.

Observe to see if she's picking at herself or if the others are picking at her.
I'd clean the scraped area with saline or chlorhexidine, then apply a dab of triple antibiotic ointment.

Do you provide a dust bath or box with dirt/sand for the chick to bath in? If not, I would.
