irritated duckling, advice please!

[callduckquacker]

I have five adorable little call ducks which hatched just a couple of days ago.... they all seem fine and are eating/drinking/pooing normally, but one of them seems to have some sort of irritation or itchiness - he is almost constantly preening his belly/cloaca area, sometimes making slightly distressed sounding cheeping noises whilst doing so. At first I thought maybe he was constipated but I've seen him do at least one normal (if a bit watery) poo, and when he's not busy itching away he's acting normally. I've had a look at his cloaca (as well as I could through all of his fluff!) and from what I can tell it looks fine with no swelling or prolapse.

Has anyone seen anything similar in a duckling? Should I be worried? Is there anything you could recommend I do other than wait and see what happens?

This is normal! He's just cleaning himself off. He's making noises because he is content with his great job of preening!
My ducks are about 5 weeks and they STILL do this! Don't worry about it
