In the Brooder
Hi. I just found my duck with something weird going on. She’s lost most of her feathers (all of her flying feathers are gone), plus she’s shedding parts of her feathers (I think they’re called hollow shafts)I’m not sure how long this was going on but I just noticed this morning. None of the other 8 ducks have any issues like this nor do the 3 chickens that she’s with. She has the white spot on her neck from when she was being over mated last summer but I don’t think that could possibly have caused this amount of damage in her feathers. I’ve been watching her a bit today and she’s by herself and doesn’t seem to be able to move normally. It just looks awkward and abnormal when she does move. What do you think this is? In wondering if it’s mites of some sort but all the other ducks looks just fine! Please help!
