3 week old chicks with bald spots

[missmands81]

Im new to baby chicks and they started getting feathers, but some of them have bald spots. Is this normal?

Yes the feathers grow in at different rates over different parts of the body, and they outgrow their fluff in some places before their feathers come in.

My Australorp & black sex links looked worse than that. It looked they had mange! They're 9 weeks old now, and beautiful. Yours look perfectly normal.

Thank you both for the help!
