[nosduj]

my chick is bare right down to the meat on a strip of his belly its a black olthorp or how ever you say it but what can i do for this and should i be worried

How old is baby and the others with him/her?

Might be doing it him/herself, might be getting pecked.

Any sign of external parasites? What food is the bird receiving?

Hard to saw without details...

You probably mean an Australorp? Are you sure it isn't just how the baby feathers look? On some of my black babies I notice I can see their skin REALLY well through their fluff.
