I've had her and her brother for about 4 years and they do mate together and lay eggs. Sammy has always had a bald spot on her head, right under the feather crest...I never thought much of it (just wondering about it now). Recently, her chest feathers have begun to turn pink...and it looks like it's becoming darker and spreading :( I'm really worried...plz help

EDIT: okay we caught her with a towel kinda thing and looked at her chest. I didn't see any scratches or cuts, and it was only the front feathers that were affected ^_^"" so I'm pretty sure she's fine. I removed her mineral treat and red swings to rule them out as the cause. Anyone know anything else about this or have any other ideas?
