Can you post a pic? It’s normal to lose down As new feathers start coming in. If they are all the same age something else maybe going on so pics would help.

The two pekins on the left picture are balding and the other one on the right isn’t

I can’t see anything from these pics they are 7 weeks old so they are fully feathered. Have you checked them for mites? Do they have swimming water?

Yes we have a pond but they have been reluctant to go there and no I have not checked them for mites

Pekins are very lazy, take them out to the pond daily so they can get some much-needed bathing, I would first check for snappers before you let them in the pond though.
