One of my chicks looks like he is losing feathers at the base of his neck. I have not seen the other chicks pecking him so i am not sure what this is from. Any ideas? Also is this something I should be worried
 
Mine are around three weeks and have the same thing too, so I'm interested in hearing if this is normal or a sign of a problem.
 
My experience... They are cute, then they get REALLY ugly, then they get cute again! My chicks started having bald spots at about a month old, and they looked like little dinosaurs. Now, at two months, they are feathering out and starting to look beautiful.

If your chick is acting otherwise normal and healthy, and it may just be a natural thing. I think chicks start losing down to grow in new feathers.
