I have an almost 3 week old chick with a raw spot on its neck. Appears to be missing feathers and a wound or two as well. I’m wondering it the other chicks have done this (8 chicks total) or if something else is going on. Only one chick has this issue. Should I keep the chick separated for her safety? I have her separated at the moment but I feel awful. Any advice/recommendations would be appreciated. I put blue kote on it so it’s not as red in the photo as it actually looks without the blue. The wound looked worse before adding it. Especially under the red heat lamp. FYI heat lamp is not directly over chicks. It’s offered on one end of the brooder. Thank you!
