Duckling missing rump?

[LydiaB]

One of my new ducklings has a round short rump instead of a pointy one. Anyone know how this happened? If it will be okay? I tried to check to make sure it can poop but it’s tiny… but looks the same as a “normal” one I compared it to. I have attached a pic with the duckling in question circled. It will be a week old Friday, so I assume if anything vital was missing it would have died by now. It’s just the strangest thing.

Huh, is he just missing feathers there or is there actual flesh missing?

Just built different I would say, looks like a healthy duckling.

He just has a round rump instead of pointy. He’s too young for feathers.

Not long ago there was another member who had a duckling like yours.
