Red duck wings

[CeceliaD]

My two and some week old ducklings (one of the two) seem to have irritated/red wings. What can I do for this—is it an issue? Do they look irritated to yall?

My duckling have this also, I assumed it was because they are growing and their fluffy chick feathers aren’t covering all the skin now that their adult feathers are coming in. I hope it isn’t a rash. My ducklings are 3.5 weeks old.

I think mine are about 3 weeks old now too. It doesn’t look like an open sore or anything so I’m thinking it is ok...it’s just that one of mine has it worse than the other so it’s hard to tell if it’s just skin.

It looks ok to me as long as it's not bothering her. Those little guys are always so warm it makes their skin a little pinker

You’re probably right! Thanks for your reply!
