I got chickens!!! :D

So I finally got to go to the local feed store and get my pullets. I got a production red, barred rock, and golden wyandotte. I haven't chosen names yet lol but they are so sweet. They don't do a whole lot, but I guess that's the stress. I have pics posted on BYC if anyone's interested. I do have a question though. They all appear healthy except the barred rock has a bald behind. Why is that? Should I expect illness? Should I call the feed store and get a different one? What can I do to treat it?

Probably had runny poo and got caught in the tail fuzz and either picked off by another chick or pulled off by the feed store folks trying to clean it's rear end. I wouldn't worry too much about the little one, but watch for the others pecking the funny looking butt...anything different and they can't seem to resist :/

Congrats on the babies!!!!!

They're a week old is what I think the lady said...I sorta got caught up in the excitement. Oh and I figured I might as well post the pics here too I don't mind showing off my new babies
