Duckling ear scratching

[AutumnEAllen]

Hi I have 3 ducklings they keep scratching at their ears. I just noticed it today and I think it’s ear mites but I’m unsure. They are about 10 days old

Do you have pictures of them?

 

[AutumnEAllen]

No of them scratching, they only did it in the water though

Are they perhaps simply preening?

Maybe, I’m really new at ducklings so I have no idea what I’m doing
