What is this?

[Lyssa2004]

Hi! Thanks to my last thread and all the help I received I have my babes now!(pic below) I had to get them straight run since that was my only option because I got them from TSC but they are doing great and they are the sweetest little babies! I know This may sound dumb and I promise I know a good bit about ducks but what is this on their butts? I couldn’t find anything online about it if anyone knows please help! It’s sort of a little nub with yellow looking feather things on it

Ps: they don’t live outside they live in a brooder in my room at the moment they are just spending some time outside and swimming and such!
