featherless spots on chicks with pix

[duckidaho]

Hello, I have 3 black sex-links that have bare spots and ratty feathers. All of my other chicks look great. They have plenty of room. We tried wiping with some vinegar and water for the first time tonight, in case it is pecking. Any thoughts? Suggestions?

I'm sorry, I don't know what is going on with your babies, but I have to say I have the same shirt you are wearing on the pics. LOL

That's just them growing. Sometimes their bodies grow faster than their feathers and they get that naked look. As their feathers catch up they'll fill in.

I think that is normal until they feather out more.
