Is there something wrong with my pekin duck

To me, it looks like his wing has been cut. Does he have a habit of flying into the neighbour's yard?

he is exactly a year old, there are feathers everywhere and his brother is quite ruffled so he could be molting. it is weird because he used to try flying a ton and now he just weakly flaps his wings so im not sure if hes in pain or what
 
I am guessing it's a molt. I tend to think that it must feel weird, if not uncomfortable, to have all your feathers get loose, and have new feathers growing out through your skin. ugh. I Runners flap gently when they molt. And they don't want to be touched.

The wing feathers look like new ones coming in. That can look like a clipped wing sometimes.
