Chest

Please don't wrap the chick up, it's not at all natural and it could overheat. Nature has provided a covering of down feathers to protect it and keep it warm. As long as the temperature in the brooder is correct, the chick is fine.
Actually I looked it up and wrapping it up makes it think it’s wrapped in it’s mothers wings and I only do it when they are out of the brooder, it’s the only way I can get them to sleep. and they seem to have the fast feather gene as they already are loosing down in places

What are your plans when the chick is a chicken?
Will be gifted to my aunt. If male I’ll get some females to go with since she only wants one male. I’m trying to teach them to be nice and not peck at and try to eat my scabs and wounds by Bawk-Yelling when they do since it hurts. Also these are where the wounds next to their eyes were they were fleshy now they are getting copper feathers

I agree, it looks like you need more ventilation and the brooder may be a bit warm.
Try to get the temps for us when you can.

If possible, get some clear photos of the eyes, it's hard to tell what's going on there.
They have started to feather over with copper feathers were previously fleshy
