One of my 6 week old chicks is losing feathers in a patch on the back of her neck. She already lost her fluff and these are the real feathers that had come in. Is this normal? These are my first chickens and I only have 2. The chick that is losing them is the more dominant of the two so I don't think she is being picked on. Any suggestions?
 
The more docile chick may just be sneakier the the other. I've seen my sweetest chick sneak up on the most aggressive chick and attack. Not sure if that's what's going on here but a possibility. Good Luck
