I have 19 chicks and my older ones have feathered out quite nicely. One of my younger ones though has gone completely bald on his back. I haven't noticed anybody pecking at him and the much older chicks (almost 4 weeks) are in a separate brooder so my little guys (almost two weeks) aren't getting trampled to bits. Here's a picture of his back. Is it just normal feathering out or is something else wrong?

Any ideas? He's Gotten larger and feathered in elsewhere more since last week but these two spots are still bald. I haven't seen anyone pecking at him either and he seems fine otherwise.
