I have two polishes in my flock. Noticed one of my silkies pecked lightly at the buff one's face and so took a peek at her & the black/white one. Wondering if something's wrong?
Buff one seemed to be bleeding just slightly after getting pecked (at top of beak). Also seems to have bumps near eye and side of her mouth.
Black/white one looks different. She's younger but seems to be a little dandruffy near her cheeks. Wonder if she's molting or if it's something worse, like mites. Or maybe it's just the contrast between her dark feathers and her lighter skin?
Overall, have a pretty docile flock and no issues between them and the others. If anything, the buff one is higher up the pecking order than the black/white one.
