Feather Pecking - Muscovy Ducks

Nope My roost for them is about 8' long and usually 3-4 are roosting over night a few still sleep in the shaving but it does give them alternatives.

My muscovy ducks (born on St Patrick's Day) are having a problem with feather picking. It's mostly one, but when I remove that one I see that another starts. Then when I remove that one there is another (there are 9 total). It is getting bad to the point of drawing blood at the tail and wing areas. I have let them out to free roam the backyard and it is still going on. They are fed a duck feed crumble and have plenty of water.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have a Muskovy duck also Who is doing the exact same thing did you find anything out about it I’m really concerned also I don’t know if this is normal any suggestions
