a few months away my Muscovy girl got a scab over her nose and it seemed pretty small cause the colour was blending in i just assumed it was mating or trying to shove her head through the chicken wire an accidentally nipped herself but i noticed it started to fall of yesterday i didn't think much of it and assumed it would heal over perfectly but im now getting concerned because this morning i noticed her carnucles have turned from a light red do a gross yellow orange and its super soft so im guessing its infected but its so close to her nostrils and eyes(in the middle of top of her face) i didn't put anything on it that could give me a whole new issue, my ducks are more than egg layers to me and i really dont want anything bad to happen to her. what should i do?
So thats my main issue right now.... but their are a few more things i need some guidance in.....
i have a flock of 3 (2 muscovy girls,1 mallard) i originally had 2, one girl and one drake which i got at 3 days old, 6 months old we had a dog issue and my boy sadly passed, but 1 day later i got 2 more baby ducks to keep my girl company(this all happened about a year ago). Fast forward a few months and my girl started to look ragedy and colour changing, next thing you know she went from a beautiful brown mallard to having A GREEN HEAD and grey feathers, so basically my duck is trangender. But (fast foward 5 months again) and hes starting to loose all green from his head and starting to get his brown back so turning back to a girl??? i havent seen anything on this id be intrested to know if anyone else has had the same thing happen??? should i post tranformation pics??
and lastly....( thank you all so much)
my girls (Munckin and Dewy) have been figthing ever since mating season started,like bad fighting i couldn't leave them together for 2 minutes, they have been split up now for almost 2 months and now the season is coming to an end and their is still no improvement my boy (or girl?) peeper has been ''matting'' with them both so i thought they were just fighting over him but its been so long and its alot to keep up with i found alot online about drake muscovys fighting but not much on girls, they have a pool and plenty of space in the cage they go in at night(they free range) so i dont know what to do..... they do share a food dish tho, could that be the issue
and my girl munckin has bumblee foot right now that i just treated so my duck shanagains is alot right now this is only my secound summer with them so i would apprecaite any help, thank you
