feathering out question

[Chicken Outlaw]

Chicks are a few weeks old & are mostly feathered but I noticed there's not alot of feathers on the side of ones neck. I noticed it when she stretched so it's hidden under other feathers. I don't know if it's the same one or a different one but also under the wings.

My question is ... when they're getting their feathers from fuzz stage do they get/have bare-ish spots till all the feathers grow in or is there something wrong?

Like I said it's not noticeable unless she's stretching her neck & wings.

Yes, they do look like they have bare spots running down their necks and the middle of the chest too, depending on the color of the chick. I had some buffs and didn't notice that but with my black ones it's very evident. Perfectly normal

I noticed that yesterday on my 2 1/2 week old black austrolorps.
