Hi guys, today about 7 minutes ago I seen my baby chick biting or pecking his stomach and there was a spot with no hair and I don’t know what is causing it. Any clue?

This isn't just a spot over his umbelical that hasn't grown feathers yet? Although by 2 weeks old it shouldnt be that...
It doesn't look red or inflamed, at least...my guess would be he got some food or poop on him and was just trying to get it off, they will pick at themselves til feathers come out sometimes when they have something stuck to them. But someone else may have a different idea...

Also welcome to backyardchickens!

I think you’re right , earlier he did get food and water mix together on his feet and I cleaned it off. Will keep a closer eye on him and thank you!
