Hi there. My new babies have decided to start picking out their feathers. They have little bald spots, but I think I can see the new feathers coming in. They seem very active and are eating and drinking plenty, and I don't see any broken skin. Is this normal? They are sort of in between fuzzy and feathery at this point.
Thanks!

Thanks for your answer. I don't think they are overcrowded, and they have since filled in those bald spots. So I think I jumped the gun in getting worried enough to post!
