Hello Fellow Bird lovers,
My pair of ducks are 2 years old and they are having there autumn molt at the mo.
Ive heard about having to pluck blood feathers which I hope Il never have to do because that sounds horrific however my lady duck has had problems with her tail feathers during this molt so I thought id throw this out in to the forum to people have more knowledge.
She has almost completed moulting but I noticed some feathers from her tail were half hanging off for a longer time than normal and once they had fallen I had noticed the tip of the feather didnt look right.
.
Normal tail feather on the left and weird one on the right.
Now she growing her feathers back and there seams to be issues with the new feathers coming through on her tail.
I was wondering if anyone no's if these feather's will these sort them selfs out or am i going to have to pluck them?
There is around 5 roots on her tail like this and one feather still on the wonk waiting it fall off.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post
