Balding?

[RidgeRoad]

I have Australops that are about four weeks. They have bald patches under their wing area and at the back of their necks. they still have a lot of baby fluff on their heads. Is this just where they have lost their baby feathers and the new ones are yet to come in or do I have something to be concerned about?
Thanks1

No, that's normal. At 4 weeks they start their "dinosaur stage" of losing fluff and growing real feather. It's normal to be bald-ish around the armpits and back of neck.

Oh thank you! I thought it probably was but they sure look funny!
