Ducklings with bags under eyes

[EvilBandit]

My 3-week 3-day-old mallard ducklings have developed what appear to be eyebags?? Their eyes have wrinkles and dark coloration under them that I've never seen before and it's more apparent on some more than others. Is this a regular part of duckling growth, or is it something worth being concerned about? I've attached pictures of their eyebags.

They also feel prickly when I pick them up. Is this their adult feathers coming in?

I'm a new duck keeper, so I don't know if this is normal; I apologize if this is a stupid question haha.

Thank you so much!

Their eyes appear to be completely normal. The prickly feel is probably caused by pin feathers which will become their new feathers. Enjoy your flock.
