5.5 week BSL pullet
Today I noticed these bald spots on her. My son said they have always been there. wondering if its a reason for concern. I dont see any feathers in the brooder and no others look like this. Thanks!

Looks like she's outgrowing her chick fluff and her new feathers haven't come in yet. Chicks go through multiple molts as they grow so they don't grow out of their feathers, but occasionally you will see some bald spots. I see no redness or irritation that might point to another problem, so I wouldn't worry about it, but would keep an eye on it in case it is something else.

Thank you so much!
