Red chapped face??**with pics**

[Mandalina]

How do i treat a 8 1/2 week old chicken wit ha red chaffed/chapped face? I am not sure what did it, it just started the day before yesterday.She was taking a dirt bath in the pine shavings instead of outside, so could it just be irritation if she rubbered her face in the pine?
I am trying to get pics, she isnt very cooperative at the moment. And, to top it off my Muffinz is suddenly having wattles that are bright red and i dont know if it is from the irritation or if she is a late blooming boy (which will make me cry).
Does anyone know what i should do?? Should i seperate her??

ok,ran out and brought her into the house for pics. she isnt happy with me.

To me it just looks like irritation probably from the oils in the pine shavings. Can you wipe off her face with some water? Also, I think it just looks like her wattles are irritated, too - she doesn't look like a roo to me. She's cute!

You could try putting some vasoline on it, that should help the dryness

okey dokey,i shall try that. she is being very foul mooded at the moment, which isnt like her. she is usually so sweet and will follow me all over and enjoys coming inside to see the kids, but this am when i brought her in she was nippy and went after my cat.
hopefully her face will feel better with some lovin care and she will be in a better mood.

and lets all hope i dont loose a digit to her foul mood lol.
