Molting bleeding duck - HELP

I’ve had this duck a little over a month, since it was two days old. He’s molting and getting rid of the fuzz and getting feathers. He’s a mixture of a Cayuga and roen (spelling?)

He’s inside with two others right now (khakis) and noticed blood all in my tub. I found the source of bleeding but never experienced this! Not the best photo, maybe an infected wing? I’m not sure what to call these where they’re growing wings

I had a duckling have this happen a year who but I saw it’s brother bite it’s wing ti cause it
Is it possible one of the other ducks took a bite
I’m not sure, I’ve never seen them bite on each other. I just thought it was weird that this needle looking thing doesn’t look like the rest of them and has a white bulb-like tip so I assumed infected?

That I’m not sure about
They will play and nip one another but when the feathers are coming in they go through a stage of bare bones in the wings and fir wine reason my one duck found it to interesting and had to bite
Then when it saw blood it wanted to bite that too
I got the bleeding stopped and moved her for a few days where he couldn’t get it
Never happened again
@Miss Lydia have you seen one look like this ?
