I have a bunch of 2 week old chicks.

One Welsummer arrived with a little bald spot on it's back. I didn't think much of it.. there is no injury, just a bald spot.
She is getting her feathers in and I have seen her picking herself on the bald spot? What is up with that?
I have checked her over carefully.. no sign of mites, or injury...?
 
Maybe she has a feather shaft in that area bugging her?
