skin problem, is there a chance to heal this?

[kurka]

I have some chicks [mixed breeds : silkiexnew english game bantam] and one of them- a little hen- has strange skin. On the face and head it's very dry, and peeling like a thin layer of silhouette paper.. on the body skin is quite normal, and on legs, the down side of the feet is like a hard thick layer of skin that cracks.. on the upside of feet there is some thin peeling off skin like on the face. The skin is healthy - it looks like kind of psorasis or something like that.. She and the others from that hatch was raised in a cage and wire floor, and all are perfectly healthy. 4-5 months now.. Anyone had something like that? And she is very small i guess a dwarf - size like a typical pigeon.

Are they still being raised in a cage on a wire floor? If so you really should consider raising them on the floor. The wire is very uncomfortable on their feet and can cause blisters and infection. It's just not good for chickens.

Try putting vaseline on the areas that are dry. Do you have a picture you can share with us?

There is a disease called Favus that you should research but it is most likely dry skin.

I will try to make picture tomorrow.. They sleep in cage, but at day they are in a pen put on the grass. Feet of all the rest and 2 quails that were with them are normal, soft. This is professional cage with thick wire floor of just right spacing, i don't think the cage is the problem.. Anyway, they are going to be with the adult hens in the coop soon, so i'm worry about the dirt going trough the cracks.. I hope it won't infect her feet or something.
