Muscovy duckling

[tuckermum]

Hi! I’ve got a almost 4 week old Muscovy duckling named scooter. Scooter is losing feathers around his/her face. Does this look normal or is scooter missing out on something nutritional? My other 2 muscovies don’t seem to have this problem.
The picture outside was less than a week ago.

never mind guys it’s feathers. Lol I guess I should have looked closer.

that doesn't look like skin could it be adult face feathers?

Be careful. Muscovy's are addictive. Started with two - hatched 11 cuties. Now have 9 females, two drakes, and 18 eggs scheduled to hatch in 3 weeks. I've had ducks for a year now. This forum is fantastic. I have never felt that any question was "stupid", and advice is thoughtful and helpful. Always newbies joining and made to feel welcome.

Yeah I feel like I watch them so closely worried that I’m not doing enough for them.
Thank you!!

Thank you!!
we have 3 muscovies and 1 khaki Campbell.
I can’t get anymore though because I live in a city. I can’t wait to find out if I have males or females though.
