The ends of my ducks wing is bleeding.

The photo is totally alarming; I've never seen anything like that with my ducks. I hope your baby is doing okay now.

Is the duckling kept with any of the other birds? Maybe she's rubbing up against something and breaking the shafts off? Can you post a pic of where she is normally kept and how many birds are kept with her?
Have you rinsed the wings off to see if they are still bleeding? I'd make sure they still aren't actively bleeding.

They looked ok after I cleaned them. I have light surgical tape on the ends so she can't bite them.
She sleeps in the brooder with her 3 sisters and 4 younger ones. There's no sharp bits or edges they could hurt themselves on.
She's in good spirits and loves the newborn ducklings, she's gone very clucky lol.
It's possible that Dizzy (drake) may have hurt her. We recently removed him and the older girls from the younger ones.

They're "sharp" and bleeding because something is breaking her feathers off at the shaft. What is her exact diet? I know you mentioned where you get your feed, but quite frankly that doesn't tell us much about what she is actually being fed. When I looked at their website I did not even see an actual duck or chicken feed only wild and pet bird feed options. Is she being fed an actual poultry feed? You also said she sleeps in a fish tank? How big is the fish tank? By the looks and sounds of it she is in too small of a space and most likely not receiving the correct nutrients. If she is doing this much damage to herself something is very very wrong with her environment and health. If she is not doing this a something has definitely gotten to her this isn't something that just happens. You can clearly see by what's left of the shafts they have been broken/ripped.

She's been biting herself. The tank is just a sick bay type of thing, warm with suger cane, food and water. We can keep an eye on anyone that needs it. We love our birds and would never make them uncomfortable.

She's most likely biting at them because they are irritating her due to their sharp edges from being broken off.
We are here to help, but can't fully if you aren't willing to disclose information like proper feed and visuals of the set up.

Also, knowing the exact feed they are getting might help to figure out what is going on with your other duckling.

Again what is their exact feed and how big is the tank exactly? Ducks don't just start biting their feathers off for no reason especially to the degree your hen has. Nutrient deficiencies and small stress inducing spaces are the main causes of ducks eating at their own feathers. It may be a sick bay, but even a sick duck can be stressed in a small environment. Something is seriously wrong for your duck to cause the degree of damage your has to herself.

The Tractor Coup with 2 brooders on the top. (We don't use the bottom of it much.
We carpeted the duck coup for warmth. 3 different compartments to sleep or hatch in. It's locked up at night.
Free range all day with a pool, fruit trees and heaps of worms every morning under the worm carpet.
We feed them popped corn, mixed grains, chick starter with extra yeast.
I would hate to think we are hurting them. I don't think our set up is wrong. The a Drake is out the back with the older ducks, he was being mean and chasing the younger ones. Actually, he might have started the wings bleeding and she's continued to chew them, it was around the same time.

@Run Amock DucksNChickens I know nobody wants to pick on you or make you feel bad, we are just trying to help.
It looks like you certainly care about your birds. I like the idea of a chicken (duck) tractor for the ducks. I need to look into one for mine since we aren't able to free range right now due to a fox.

Is the one with the wing issue in the aquarium with the other ducklings or is it separated? The ducklings are outgrowing the aquarium fast, but I'm sure you have plans for them to be in a different area soon. Ducklings like to pick on one another. I've had them pick at another's blood feathers and cause bleeding. I used blue kote to keep them from continuing to do so and it seemed to work. They had a fairly larger brooder and they still picked on one another. But, the more space the better.

Maybe for now only feed the ducklings the chick starter with the yeast and cut out all other foods as it's not needed. Once they get older a few treats here and there is ok. Its usually advised 1 tablespoon max per bird of any treat other than feed. Also, choose a nutritional yeast vs brewers yeast. You didn't specify, but nutritional yeast is more beneficial due to the higher niacin content.
It will most likely help your other duckling (the one in your other post) just to have chick starter and nutritional yeast.

How is the duckling with the broken feathers doing?
