How old are the babies? Sounds like it could be the feathers have not grown in yet.

Yes, depends on how old they are. Zebras sometimes tend to pluck their babies feathers if they are out of the nest, eating on their own, and the parents are wanting to breed again.

If they are eating on their own, I would suggest seperating them from the parents.
