Flakey Skin

[Gaz6ft5]

Hi Guys

 

I Neeed a bit of advice with regards to "FLAKEY SKIN". " on my birds not me"

Thier meat on the chest is nice and pink, eyes are good and feathers are sound but they still have flakey skin.

ive done some research and it would appear that they suffer from vitamin A defficiency.  to which i have steadly fed them increased dossages of vit A in their diet

any help would be greatfull chaps

How much do  people actually take notice of wether or not a birds skin is flakey or not,I personally take no notice at all as on many occasions my first bird home from a race as often been the one with the flakiest skin.Take for instance our race last weekend whilst checking the birds over on thursday night for basketing i noticed that one of the birds that i was sending was really smooth and pink around the breast bone,you.ve guessed it he is awol,my first bird had very flaky skin and was 6hours 6mins.on the wing doing 1275 for a 265 mile race.
