#1: noticed a little raw place on a 3 week old chick. I applied some bacitracin is that ok? See attached pic.

#2: I got this little blonde chick from TS in the Easter egged bin. She looks different to me. Her feathers are kind of frizzy. Let me know what you think. TIA

Yes, the bacitracin is okay, but what did that? Is she with older chicks who are pecking her perhaps?

As for what she is, sorry I'm only good with silkies mostly, but she's cute!
 
She is only with other chicks her same age. Really strange
I'd wonder about mites, but then that wouldn't be the only chick with issues. Is one of yours a bully? You might have to watch, and if you can determine who is pecking her, separate them out. They'll cry when singled out, so you could try putting another chick with them. If she's doing that to herself or others are, you might have to take her out until she grows some feathers back or figure out a way to put a little apron on her.
