Is this scale? Not an emergency

[LovePBandJ]

I’m new to chickens.

I have three, nine-month-old silkies. Yesterday while washing/trimming nails/general health check I noticed some white in their otherwise black skin. Is this the beginning of scale?

I’m not sure if this is normal, or something to be concerned about.

Thanks!

Looks normal to me.
