Hi everyone-
I added a buff Orpington chick about a week or so ago and introduced her to the flock- it all seemed to go ok, they chased her around a little bit but didn’t do any harm. I have noticed she is sort of secluded, and today when I went out she seemed hunched over in the corner looking sleepy. When I picked her up it almost looks like she’s missing feathers from her face? Could these be others pecking her, could she be sick or just adjusting to the new home still??
