I have 3 Silkie chicks which are about 4 weeks old.
I have just noticed that all 3 of them have lost the fluff/feathers on the front sort of breast area.
Is this normal? It’s gone completely bald?
I could have sworn that they weren’t like this this morning when they were being handled.

Unfortunately I can’t get pictures right now as it is dark and they are settled for the night
 
Just though I’d post a picture as I now have one
