No emergency. Yellow crust on little feathers above chickens eye.

Don’t know if this is the start of something bad or not. At first I thought maybe some of the yolk from an egg my son smashed may have somehow got here and dried out but it’s still here two days later. I was going to wipe it off but she wasn’t really feeling me the other day and I didn’t want to invade her space lol. Also her comb is looking a little rough. They always have fresh water available it’s just a lil crusty looking. thank you!

Could just be some debris, but I would check her over for external parasites. Look under the wings and around the vent. Look for small moving specks or clumps of white at the feather base.

Wouldn't hurt to treat her with a dust or spray made for chickens.
