We had a lot of Pekin ducklings hatch this year...19 I think. Anyway, I remember noticing a bit of red on them when their downy feathers started coming out. Some also had very noticeable "goosebump" looking skin when they were wet too. Not sure why some got more goosebumpy than others but they all got toweled off after shower time anyway so I didn't fret too much.
As for treats, I haven't found much that they don't like. They're rather spoiled. Besides treats others have mentioned, they love bok choy, tuna and salmon, cooked wild and brown rice, bananas, and blueberries (if you're up for some fun colored duck poo). They also like plain Cheerios softened in water.
