    Marking on back of ducklings?

    Hi, we got baby ducklings from tractor supply on Thursday, and it’s Monday now. I assume they are about a week old and maybe less. We noticed there was a red marking on the back of both of them near their tail and they were pecking/itching it. Do all ducks have this? Should we be worried? Thanks
