My 5 week old speckled sussex has had feathers missing and what appears to be scabs on her head for a couple of weeks. She eats and acts well and I don't notice her itching excessively. Anyone familiar with this or have any ideas how to treat? I just moved her and the rest of the flock to their coop today. I am including a few pics to help identify what she is dealing with.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated!

 
None of you experienced BYC'ers ever seen this? Please comment if you can--thanks!
 
Have never noticed any of the others pecking at her. She is in with all same aged chicks--though she does seem a little smaller than the others. I will see about the blu kote--thanks!
