This is my first time raising meat birds. I have 37 week and a half old chicks right now. I’ve attached a few photos- just noticed today a lot of have these little bald spots on them. Is this normal? Are they pecking at each other bc their brooder is too small? I’ve had them 10 days now and they’ve more than doubled their size it seems.
(Not my first time raising chickens.. just my first time w meaties)

I currently have 68 CX's that'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow. Most of the birds, especially the larger ones, have bald spots or thinning areas on them. Especially in the area of their crop and chest.
