Chick losing feathers?

I’m not seeing any evidence of mites. This is the only chick out of my 12 that looks like this.

This is just a result of the skin growing quicker than the feathers. It happens in some slower feathering strains. It’s not a loss of feathers, more a gain of unfeathered skin. When the neck hackles grow in, they will cover these patches.
