    my 2 chicks (5w & 6w old) have been scratching themselves so much lately. especially under their wings. i thought it was just because new feathers growing, but my other 3 chickens weren’t like this. the chicks also have super dry and flaky skin. whenever i hold them, there’s always lots of dry...

    is this chick male or female?
