This chick was rescued from a cat by a neighbor and brought to our house. Any ideas on what it is? It looks like it has been pecked or something - the neck doesn't have any feathers. I put it in the area we have sectioned off for our chicks with food, water and small dog kennel for a hen house . Thankfully our other chicks are now old enough to be in with our older chickens. I am not sure what else to do to help it. It is walking just fine but does seem traumatized (understandably). Will the feathers grow back on its neck?
 
Nope, looks like a naked neck, or 'turken' to me, and it'll never grow feathers on its neck

If it had the feathers pulled out, you would at least see where they used to be /see pinfeathers, but with just smooth skin and no feathers just on the neck, it's a naked neck.
