Bleeding duck problem

[amanda_rimo]

Hey everyone, what do you do when you find your duck bleeding? From say a feather or you can’t find the exact spot? We have a powder to stop the bleeding, but is there a spray that does the same effect to stop the bleeding? Sometimes the powder doesn’t stay great. Right now our Pekins tail feather broke or something. Not sure how that happened. We have a camera to watch them and I can’t see when it happened. She was fine on the camera and then her tail was red. Can the feathers break in the cold? It’s not extremely cold but they hang out by the front of the kennel where there is no tarp covering the front panel. Just wondering what everyone does for situations like this bc whenever it happens I panic and don’t know the right way the tend to it. Thank you for reading this and answering if possible

The feathers can break any time. She should get over it. I have had a chicken with the same problem, and she was fine after a few days

I use this stuff, it works great. I found it at Walmart

I used to use cornstarch but this works much better.

Just saw the question about feathers breaking, they break very easily if they get ice on them and freeze. My ducks get ice clumps frozen on their feathers occasionally and it can break the feathers right off. Sometimes they even try to pull the ice off themselves and can break feathers doing that.

I just get nervous bc they say ducks can’t handle a lot of blood losss so that’s the last thing I want to happen to her. So I want to stop the bleeding as fast as possible

If it’s a feather…then it’s a blood feather. I know people use quick stop. BUT, here, we just pull the feather out. I mean, it’ll regrow. Pulling the feather out won’t cause bleeding.

If it’s the feather and nothing else
