HELP! I assisted a duckling before internal pipping!

[Hamudazahabi]

Around 5-6 weeks the females will pretty much stay the same size they are and the drakes will continue to grow. so they are still too young to know sex, and the carnucles on the drakes will be larger and cover more of their faces. Another 3-4 weeks you should know sexes.

Ok thank you very much.

Ok thank you very much.

I noticed something today, unrelated to what we we're talking about before.

I realized that on of the ducklings has a gap in its tail which looks kind of like a v to the inside. I attached a picture of its tail and a picture of a tail of another duckling. This is the only duckling of these three that has this.

Maybe this is just that the feather didn't fully grow yet, but I thought I wouldn't lose anything if I ask here @Miss Lydia .

Thank you very much for always helping me.

Anyways what's that red thing around the head of these small ducklings? @Miss Lydia @NatJ ?

I do not know, but I am happy to see you did get an answer.

The video I attached did not get attached for some reason. I will try again here.

I believe you have to upload the video to some other site (example: youtube), and then link to it, rather than attaching the video directly to your post.

Ok. I won't do it I guess because it's not really worth it. Thank you very much.

@NatJ do you know if it is normal for the tail of one duckling to be like that? I mean like the image I attached earlier

Ok, no problem. Thank you.

@Hamudazahabi what do you think is wrong with your ducklings tail?

I don't really know. I thought maybe it either didn't grow well or a feather went missing for some reason. There is like a v shape of missing feathers. I attached pictures earlier

I saw maybe one of the others pulled it out, sometimes they aren't perfect but as long as they are healthy. Unless your planning to show them?
