First time duck mom. I know this is mainly a chicken group, but I’m sure there are duck families here too. I have 6 welsh harlequin ladies that are about 3 weeks old. I am also a 2nd grade teacher and mom of two human kids.
One of my 3 week old WH ducklings seems to be missing feathers around one ear hole. They are in feather transition, which I know makes them itchy. She was scratching the spot while taking a splash. I’m worried about something getting in there.
