Feather problems

[ag8chick]

Hello, my mother showed up with these 2 babies from a local feed store. They were a few weeks old when I got them and I’ve had them for a few weeks now. I’m guessing anywhere between 6-8 weeks. When I got them they already had feathers missing. These are the only two I have like this. And I’m not sure if it’s normal or what? I did look closely and seen no signs of bugs on skin. They are not sluggish and act normal. Eat and drink normal. I just don’t know why

they are looking like this. The store had them labeled as Speckledy thanks in advance!

Are the picking each other? What's their diet and space set up?

They have not pecked at each other in our space, but I’ve seen chicks have tiny spaces in the feed store. I’m wondering if it’s because of that and just taking its time to grow back.

I’ve had them for about 3 wks now and they haven’t gotten worse, but not much better.

Their space is about 15 sq ft for 6 baby chicks. And none of the others have these issues.

For the length you've had them, they're likely still picking each other by the look of the skin.
