longtime chicken raiser but first time silkie mama, wondering if these bumps under their eye are normal for this breed or is it something I should be concerned about? Thanks yall!!

Not normal :O

 

[lncrane08]

so it's something that I should probably get checked out? Or just late nature take it's course?

Is it just the one chick? Where did it come from?

I got them from a friend of a friend. Two of them have it under the eye. Same mass thing. Same eye. They are about 5wks old.

Did you ask the friend about it??

Did you ask the friend about it??

Yes. She said it might be a clogged duct. Does that happen in chickens?

I'm not sure, it might be best to ask a vet, it could be a clogged duct or maybe something dangerous. I'm not sure, for the most part my flock and chicks have been ususally healthy Good luck with your little one and keep us posted!!
