Polish chick. Help!

[Another Adventure]

My polish chick has a bald spot on the top of its head. Is this normal or are the other chicks picking on him? What should I do? It is 4-5 weeks old.

I’m having the same issue with one of my polish! I put my two polish in a dog crate right next to the brooder last Saturday. I think that they were being picked on. But the balding one had been the more engaging of the pair now has become the opposite. I am worried about how they will act one we put them in the coop outside.

I had 2 polish with other hens a while back. They occasionally got picked at. I remember putting something on their head that didn’t taste good to keep the others from picking. I think it was Vaseline. But maybe an expert could help
