Yellow flaky dry skin feather loss

[Ginniegin]

I have a disabled chicken that has gotten sick. I took him to a vet and a bird rehabilitation expert. He has yellow dry skin around his face and ears also it came up to his nose. He has lost so much energy and has such a little appetite. I have lathered him in vaseline out of desperation and I got some meds from the vet and the other lady. Nothing is working. Please help.
The scab is from the doctor he ripped a scab off that happened due to a rooster breaking in my house and attacked june.

Hello! What's his disability? What are you feeding him?

 

[Ginniegin]

He can’t walk so he sits in a wheelchair and is a house chicken. I feed him chick food because we are trying to build muscle.

Does his skin have a cheesy smell?

I can’t tell if he has a cheese smell but it’s more like corn chips to me. But my bf says it smells like cheese.

I would use athletes foot cream. Give him a bath with dandruff shampoo, gently loosen some of the crusty bits and then once he's dry apply the cream.

How long has he been unable to walk?
The poor guy looks like he doesn't feel well at all

Since he was a chick. He had two broken legs. I got one to work but the other I can not fix. He needs surgery. But I just got him the wheel chair I made and he scoots around in that.
