Hello everyone, first timer here. Just got 8 chicks a week ago. 4 jersey giants and 4 midnight majesty’s. I have one chick who has some bald spots on their back. I have looked and I don’t think I see any mites or lice? And I haven’t seen the others pecking this one. Any advice? Thanks!

-This chick has had the spot since we got them all from the feed store, we noticed it when we first put them in the brooder.

Hello, and welcome to BYC!

I don't have experience with this issue, but from what I can see their skin looks a little flakey.
Is the location that their brooder in really dry/arid?

I'm sure that someone on this forum can provide more useful information. ❤️

Thank you for your help! It is not dry, it’s actually been quite humid the past little bit. Definitely dusty/flaky though like you said. I thought that could just be from their bedding, but I will look more into that. I should have put in the original post, that this chick has had the spot since we got them from the store lol.
