baby chicks with bare bellies

[gmf]

2 of our 10 babies, about a week old have bare bellies. Any ideas about what is wrong, if anything?

Thank you!

Hi, my chicks have always rubbed the fluff off of their bellies - the feathers will grow in - no problem that I see.

What kind of chicks are they? They look HUGE to me for a week old!

This chick may be more than a week. I sent my son to buy some chicks and he came home with 10 chicks...5 breeds. This one may be a white leghorn, buff orrington or some other breed he can't remember the name of! He picked them out based on which seemed "friendliest".

Glad to hear it is not a problem!
