dry skin

[hdowden]

i'm having the same problem on some of my chicks and i know its not mites they have been treated for them (well they dusted themselves with a dust bath). it peels like a person does with a sunburn and its not the feather shaft. these areas are bald and i dont see any feathers growing back in so i have yet again and keep checking day and night for mites but i don't see any, no signs what so ever on these chicks. even the necked necks look like they were sunburned and started peeling on their necks but the chicks in question are all feathered all over. what's going on i have raised over 30 chicks/chickens and have never seen this before

i have searched and have read that theres nothing to worry about but the fact i havent seen this before i want to make sure theres nothing to worry about
