2 week baby chick- balding neck.. is this normal?

The quote above that @NatJ posted summarizes what I would have said.

While I’m opulent recommend it, if you’re set on keeping them I would highly highly recommend having a separate coop and run for them. Keeping them with other birds didn’t work for Doodle and Smudge, my past Cornish. Maybe it would go better if they were houses separately since you could better regulate their weight, etc, but I’m not sure.

Yes i thought about having to have seperate dwelling for them. And i just dont have the time or the means to keep them alive as long as i can with their special needs. I found someone that is raising meat birds and is gladly taking them to have them processed. Its so sad but its just the reality

I had a baby chick with a neck almost exactly like that, she was being pecked at. I ended up having to move her to a separate tub(with another chick). Once she feathered I moved her back in with the others.
