I'm aware that its considered normal for silkies, or perhaps simply hens in general, to sometimes have bald patches beneath? Right, well that isn't concerning me. What is, as I picked her up today, to check her over I noticed a slightly red patch beneath her skin, only tiny but misshapen. It doesn't seem lumpy or anything like that but something along the lines of a blood blister perhaps, it doesn't look angry or the skin ugly, just a red smear, no bigger than a five cent coin, if that? I'm not too worried at this stage but ill watch it.
Tomorrow, as she's been broody for a satisfactory amount of time, will she be okay to have a few chicks?
It doesn't seem serious yet. Any thoughts?
I think it just may be a bid of rubbing from her bedding on her skin...we're going to be changing it soon.
