    Newborn chick has red scaly back w/ feathers missing

    My just hatched chick has a red scaly back with most of the feathers on its back missing. I don't know if it came out of the egg this way or got pecked by a hen - it was hatched from its banty moms (2 of them). should I leave it alone or clean it? any suggestions? its about 4 hours old.
