2 week old duck balding??

[Egbert08]

My duck was born st Patrick's day and for about 3 days I've noticed her wings are balding. Any ideas?

I think she may be getting ready for wing feathers to start coming in.

Someone else on the forum has a duckling whose wing feathers don't seem to be coming in, though. What's the deal? (just thinking out loud)

I was worried cause my other ducks wings are fine.

My ducklings were pecking each others fuzz off their wings for several weeks. They were bald and some even were crusty and bleeding. Blue kote and that poultry wound spray helped.
Sometimes it can justvbe friction or over preening, i would keep an eye on it.
I think mine started doing it bc they didnt have enough room per duckling bc ot was too cold to let them outside yet.
Hope this helps,
