Bald silkie

[erin0415]

One of my silkies head has almost no feathers. I don't think the others are picking at it. It is the only one of 13 that looks like that. Any ideas what it could be???

sorry about the quality of pics- neither my camera or the chick would cooperate

Even though you don't see the other pecking... that's my guess.

Do you have a roo? That's where they usually hang on.

awww, poor baby !!! It does look like pecking !!! Maybe try putting her in her own area for a little while to see if they start to grow back !!

Shouldn't be any roos hanging on to her head. These babies are only 5 weeks old and aren't mixed with my other chickens. I hope that it is just pecking. I was afraid she had some head disease that she would give to the others.
