1.5 week old duck has scabs/is losing feathers

[moonydoo]

Hi guys,
Im a first time duck owner and I got 3 ducklings last week. My biggest duckling who I assume is 1.5 weeks old is starting to lose feathers on its wings and a little bit near its legs. There are red spots with no feathers there. It also walks a bit slow. Is there any reason for this loss of feathers? Im very scared. Its not very scared or stressed as it just hangs out and sleeps with the other ducks who arent aggressive. Could it just be growing new feathers? Thank you I would really appriciate the help.

I don't see anything. Is it possible to get a closer picture. If you mean the top ones and the Browning of his wings he is just starting to feather a little.

Probably losing his baby down and growing in his big boy coat. Normal.

these are some more pictures. the area doesnt look infected it is just kind of balding. and he is the biggest of the bunch so i thought maybe hes losing baby feathers?

Looks normal to me, some babies have bald spots when their young. She sure is a cutie!
