I have 4 almost 6- week- old chicks, still in the brooder. They seem ready to go out this weekend. Today, I noticed that one of the chicks has about a 1/4" in diameter bald spot on her cheek with a scrape inside and a slight browning of the feathers around the spot. Could this be the result of a minor altercation? They are getting quite jumpy now, I think it is the small space. Could this be something more serious? Should I treat the area with hydrogen peroxide or isolate the chick? Thanks in advance for any information. I'm very,very new at this and I would just hate for something to happen to one of my girls
