One of my ducks is having an issue with her vent. I noticed it in February or March when I picked her up to check her over since her poop was completely liquid (no texture at all, just brown water) and she seemed to be going more often...
My magpie call ducks are currently molting. I haven't gotten any eggs out of them yet this spring so I'm a bit concerned. Everything I have read says that ducks molt after they are done laying for the season but they haven't laid yet....
