    Lump/Bump on 5 week chick

    I have a naked neck/silkie chick that is about 5 weeks old. When I first got her, her head was bald. And as she’s growing she’s been growing a bump/lump it looks pretty gross. And I’m not sure what to do. She’s always been active and eating but it just looks worse.

    Should she sit down so much?

    I recently noticed that our Runner duckling named Duchess will sit down for a while a few times a day. She'll only walk around if: there a new refill of food/water, I'm throwing treats out to them, I'm attempting to take a photo of her, or she suddenly wants to find where Colonel is and follow...
