Rhode Island Red with a bit of white crust on wattles?

[jstewchicks]

Hello All. New Jersey/USA here. I realize that I need to get a photo here, but is it normal to get some white crusty/flaky stuff at the wattles of 10-month old hens? I threw down some oyster shell a couple of months ago, but don't normally give it to them. Is this some sort of excess calcium elimination perhaps? Thanks. JStewChicks

Can you post a picture? That would help out a lot.

Could be as simple as very dry skin, which some of my girls have had for awhile now, or something worse, like favus, a fungal infection of the face, comb and wattles. Here is a picture of what favus looks like on my "rescue rooster".
