Hello everyone. My chicks are about 6 weeks old or so. They're free ranged most of the time. Last night we noticed one of our babies didn't come to the coop with the rest, so we figured she was somethings dinner and we went to bed sad. When I woke up this morning to go let the rest out of their run area, I noticed our other chick under the bushes next to the coop.. she wasn't missing any feathers or anything but I did notice on top of her head was like a bubble, squishy and feels like a small balloon under her feathers. She didn't seem to be injured or anything, and like I said, wasn't missing any feathers.. just seemed odd to me because I've never noticed this before.. anyone have any ideas?? There is no mark, nothing. Just like a squishy balloon under her feathers on the very top of her head.. also, don't know if I have any roosters or not yet.. but i did notice after putting her back in the run area, she stuck around in there as the rest went to go do their daily rounds.. Thanks in advance :)
 
I don't know how.. as I said there are no marks. Nothing at all and the only way I even noticed it was because I picked her up to give her love since I thought she was a goner, and noticed it was squishy. I can try to catch her later for a pic, but I don't know what you will get from it.

a pic cud help.

On a phone, "upload a file@ works.
 
Yah! Below the reply section there should be 3 blue option buttons! Click on the one that says "upload a file" two options should pop up; "take a photo", "photo library" click on "take a photo" take a photo, and select which size u want your pic to be (the options should be along the bottom of the reply box)! I hope it helps!
