I just had my 2nd silkie hatch, and the 2nd ones head looks totally different than the 1st one. The 2nd one almost looks like it has a goosebump on the top of it, where the other one looks like a normal head. What does this mean??
It means Nothing Silkies can have an open skull. They can be prone to head injuries if pecked on the top of the head. Some think you have a better chance of haveing a huge crest as adults when they hatch with top knots. BUT from hatching countless hundreds of silkies I can tell you this is not always true. I love silkie chick pictures - Take some to share with us.

Your silkie is fine! Actually, it may turn out to have a better crest as an adult if it has a topnot like Polish when it hatches. Silkies are so cute!!! Congrats!!!!!!!!!
