Bare Bellies

[Celtic Hill]

My new TSC chicks have some bare spots on there bellies and matted feathers, i washed it with warm water and dried with a cloth. Is there anything else i can do?

How old are they? I had a Rooster doing this, but his feathers came back very thick and he's doing good. I think it MAY be a natural thing.

over a week old, they have all there wing feathers, oh and there Golden Comets, so not meat birds.

Thats around the time my Rooster was like this. Over a week or two they will grow back very thick. But I'd like someone else to comment on this, to confirm it. I just want to make sure I'm giving you the correct information. Because like I said, my Rooster was around the age of your Golden Comets when it had madded or bare spots, but his feathers are SO thick now.
