One of my 7 chickens (2 australorps, 2 BO 1 NHR, 1 BP and a white crested Polish) started laying last weekend. I went out today to get the egg and noticed my Polish has a bald bloody spot about the size of a quarter/half dollar on the crown of her head. I can only assume one (or more) of the others are peeking at her. Why all of a sudden?? They all arrived in the same box on the same day from the same hatchery. She is the smallest, but has not been picked on before. She is not the one laying either as she will lay white eggs (from my understanding) and the eggs are brown.
I put some antibiotic ointment on her and will separate her if needed. Thoughts???? I am very sad!
She is sooo sweet!
