Baby Chick is missing its feathers.

I've had this chick for about 2-3 weeks. When I first brought it home it started missing it's feathers or fuzz. And it all grew back. But now it is gone again and is getting worse. And it's odd to see a half naked chicken running around...lol. He is absolutely fine other wise. Chirps. Poops. Eats. Drinks. Just like the other babies. He is the smallest too. Will he be ok? Or is this something I need to be worried about?

How old is it? Some can look pretty strange when they are feathering out.

No one is pulling out his feathers are they? You may want to separate and see if the feathers start growing back. Since he is the smallest I would suspect the other chicks are picking on him.
