I have a young pigeon, going on 3 months old, that has never gotten all its feathers. It's hatchmate is normal so I'm not sure what's wrong. No other birds in the loft are showing signs of feather loss. He really just never grew them! Surprisingly he can fly as he is bald under his wings. His tail didn't really fill in either. It's like he got to the point of growing the last of his feathers and decided not to. Any thoughts on this? I'll post pictures when I can.

His bald neck and male pattern baldness on his head. He also has a bald spot on his chest. Can't get under the wing pictures without help.
 
I'm in west texas and have an identical bird. Dark coloring, and hairless neck, and under wings. Not sure about belly because he'd rather run than fly.
