I posted this a few day ago but got no responses so I figured I would give it another go! Poor little Chicken Alfredo has issues. My other chicks (3 weeks old) are almost all feathered and Alfredo only has a few on the tips of her wings. She's also developed this bald mass next to her beak over the past 5 days. No one appears to be picking on her, she's eat drinking and pooping just fine and she's just as active as every one else although she does act differently than the others, a little more spazzy. This was the bump a few days ago when it first appeared. This morning it was about the same but this evening its bigger. Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated!
UPDATE 9/2 - I thought I would add an update incase anyone else encounters this and finds this post! Six weeks later and the chick is going fine! The bump went away slowly but surely with no treatment. She is nine weeks old and still not fully feathered like the pullets that are the same age but she's almost all the way there now.
