My 11 week old silkie bantam chicken has just started growing 1 single black feather on its head, its in the place I nicked it, when helping it to hatch, has it had pipped but got shrink wrapped in the membrane. Could it be part splash, or is it because it had an injury in the exact spot?
I'm confused on how long to keep my silkie bantam chick on starter, the net says 18 weeks, but the chick feed instructions on the bag says 6-8 weeks. Any help would be appreciated.
I just knelt down to look for something, my chick was at my eye level and has just pecked me in the eyeball, it felt like a needle being poked me in my eye. I hope it doesn't cause any problems. The dirty bird! Hahaha.
