Is this normal?

Are these pictures just normal or could they possibly have a disease spreading around? From the neck down to about mid belly they appear to have rougher hair? Any advice helps. These are two different chickens! One EE and One Barred Rock both almost 4 weeks old.

Mostlikely they are going through a molt, chicks go through several

oh wow ok that’s makes me feel so much better! I didn’t see any signs of lice or mites so was thinking either pecking or something I didn’t realize they molt a lot and and such a little age! Thanks!
