Dry skin on silkie neck…

[Mariosmom]

Hello!

Couple of things I’ve been wondering about when it comes to my chicks …..

Two of my showgirl silkies has some dry skin on their necks. I have read that coconut oil can help with digestion but could it also help with that? Could I put it right in their necks?

Also, my one silkie still has a fleshy bellybutton. I read previously it should fall off in about 2 weeks…. When should I worry?

Two of my chicks have a slightly protruding vent. They use the rest room fine, have nothing oozing, etc. I know i can apply preparation h but also I don’t want to if I really don’t need to. Is this something that can correct itself as they grow?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Also, when do you introduce chick grit? They are 15 days old.

Did you ever figure out what was going on? I'm having this issue now with one of mine.

Dry skin and belly button cleared up!

The bellybutton took over a month and the dry skin comes back occasionally but they don’t seem bothered by it.
