This chic is a buff Orp. Will be 3 weeks old on Sunday. I'm pretty sure this is the male I ordered due to his size, slower wing growth and large comb coming in. I just noticed this red spot on him. i wouldn't think he would start getting red around his face this early. Possible pecking wound? We have 12 chicks and they have begun their pecking order rituals. Should I remove him from the flock until healed?
First time chick mom... TIA for your help!
 
Hard to tell from the pic, but looks like it might be a partial pecking wound. I think I see a small darker area on the bottom of the wattle...that might be the spot?
