UPDATE on what's on my chicken's head...

[Redchickens]

Well I changed the bedding from alfalfa back to shavings and put topical benadryl on the spotsand he seems so much better today. I think he was bitten or allergic to something. Thanks for your help.[iC:\\Documents and Settings\\sea4\\sea4 001.jpgmg][/:\\Documents and Settings\\\\sea4\\sea4 002.jpgimg]

are they regular pine shavings... or cedar shavings?

They are pine shavings. He was in them for 4 weeks doing fine, then we had a power outage wednesday and I put him in alfalfa, and he also escaped and possible flew into the brooder light because I found him in the baby pen. But a couple of his toes are swollen. So, maybe he was poisoned by a spider.
