New chicken Mamma here and not sure what this is? Both of our Barred Rocks have featherless patches on their cheeks. The one side of the girls is really red this morning . At first I thought it was scratching, but there are not scratch marks. Any thoughts? I really appreciate it!

Your Barred Rock bald patches will eventually turn into something similar to this.

Very normal.
Chicks will scratch at their faces at times, feathers coming in can be itchy
