If the pictures were taken after they ate, the bulge if food, and the red is probably normal. Take pictures in the morning when you get up *before* they eat.

Are you sure whenever they ate food , the skin above their crop becomes red ? Is this normal happens to all the ducklings ?

@Dean321 ask about grit too. it is very important they have grit to help them grind up their feed while it sit in their crop. grit is pretty inexpensive. If you have coconut oil rub some on their red skin and see it it helps.

Bulge means looking at your duckling from the front you can see where the skin is sticking out some? that is what bulge means it's where they have eaten and the food is sitting while they grind it up in their crops.
