I have this baby chick we hatched and she seems to have several bald spots. She is acting normal, eating and drinking good but even her feathers are coming in very different then the rest. Should I be concerned?? She was hatched like this so I know it’s not a parasite. I have never seen this before and I’m just worried something is wrong. I tried to do research but yielded nothing. Please help! Why is she bald and why does her feather growth look odd?

It may have had what is called clubbed feathers. Lack of riboflavin in the hen that laid the egg. The chick to the left front had that issue, but finally the feathers grew in. (Feathers in the pic are growing. She is one week older than the other chicks.)
