Hi! One of my ducklings seem to be losing their tail feathers, my other ducklings aren’t losing any and they all live under the same environment. This duckling also had a yellow tail when we first got it in the mail while the other ducklings had white tails

Young poultry go through multiple molts as they grow, so that would be my guess. It's also possible others are tugging on the feathers which sometimes happens between ducklings.
