Bald parts on chick roo's body

[Eric Rosario]

hello,

could someone please help, some of our chicken this year (they are 3 months old) have bald spots on their body. Especially this one, its a roo and the body feathering is strange, head and neck is fully feathered. but the back is bald, top of the wings too, and the underwing part till leg is bald too, but it looks like the feathers are not even growing.

other chickens are fully feathered we have a mixed breed chickens but this one came out very bald. Wings and legs are fully feathered, no sings of any parasites or pecking. it looks more like some genetical issue.

thx.

What are you using for feed?

How much space do they have?

Do you have pics of their coop/run that we could see?

Where did you get them?

they are chickens from our mixed breed and all of them have the same feed, here is a pic of the others in the same place, fully feathered mixed breeds.

the bald chick should be from Favelor roo and one of our mixed hens, some other black chickens got some bald spots too, as the areas are bald since feathering it looks like it something with genetics, but i've not found any info about genetics affecting only some parts of body, only the bald neck, but the neck is feathered in this case and we dont have a bald neck or any other bald chicken in our breed.

Could he be a bald headed eagle hybrid?
I'd give it some time, some birds are just slow to fill out. But if he doesn't, you'll save some plucking time when it's dumpling time!
