    Bald Chick

    I should probably also note that this little chick acts as if nothing is wrong. He isn't lethargic, eats & drinks water regularly & even began perching recently. Today I am going to separate her & my silkie out from the other four chicks to eliminate the possible stress/pecking factors. The...

    Bald Chick

    Thank you for the link, mg15. I found the black bald chicken you were talking about. My chick doesn't have nodules or bumbs but I will be doing more research on Avian Pox. These chicks haven't been exposed to any other chickens and we wash our hands before handling them. I'm bewildered.

    I'm new to raising chickens (started in March). I have 2 Ameraucanas, 4 Easter Eggers & 3 silkies and I'm currently hatching 5 Easter Eggers & 2 silkies. I originally just wanted 5 chickens but these little sweeties have taken over. I first found BYC because I lost 2 roosters to a coyote & I...
