Oil gland clogged?

[Pra0319]

Runner duck 1 week old...does this look like a clogged oil gland? I put her and her brother in the bath to clean themselves and now she’s acting weird and I noticed this spot above her tail. Her brother is acting completely normal and his feathers are different than hers. His are normal and shiney...Hers look weird. I don’t know what to do.

I don't see any abnormality in those pictures.

Looks normal to me. The funny little feathers stick out of the uripygial gland, and looks a little weird until they get some real feathers. Right now she’s still just got down.
You mentioned she’s acting weird - what is she doing that’s out of the ordinary?

Just kinda lathargic and not acting like her self...shivering a little and drooling. Not eating much and not chirping at me like she normally does.

Ok thank you! I’ve just never noticed the oil gland in my other duckies and her feathers just look a little different than her sibling.

In the picture she appears cold - when you let her bathe, ensure the water is warm, and make sure to set her in a warm environment immediately after exiting the water.
