Ducklings loosing all fuzz on necks

[chickens really]

That's normal and wearing off the down from that container your using. If the Brooder is wet the Ducklings get wet too. Using a container with a lid so they can only put in their heads helps..Pine shavings on the Brooder floor helps too.

Something like this. And soft bedding old towels or pine shaving. The shavings will absorb the wet poo then you can scoop out the wet daily and ad fresh as needed. Also depending on what your feeding you might want to start the on a supplement for extra niacin. They will need it for strong legs. Let us know what your feeding and we’ll help you get the best one . Cute little ducklings

Yellow duckling’s can look pretty naked when their down starts coming off.

I just tried to inspect them and it just looks super bad after they’ve been in the water.

There’s still he baby “feathers” as such but it just looks super red. When we got them they had it and it Just looks more noticeable now

I agree looks like something is possibly irritating them or they are making it irritated.

Hey there how’s your babies?

I was going to ask to see a photo of your waterer. I think the others have it covered and I’m guessing that their necks are rubbing raw on the edge of the water dish.
