    Wet feather

    Yes I read to give her a lukewarm bath and use dawn detergent and keep her out of water for 2-3 days. I will look for the vitamins and add the oyster shells to an extra bowl. The nose thing is weird but hopefully all this will help. Thanks again for helping me.

    Wet feather

    My almost 2yr old duck was in my pond and couldn't get out. When I went to her all her feathers were soaked and she was shivering. I am guessing after doing research it is wet feather but she also has these weird red Mark's on her beak. Any thoughts?

    Duck eggs and humidity levels.

    I am new to trying to hatch pekin duck eggs. They are on day 27 and just starting to try and pip. The humidity readout say 72% is that good. I have seen so many posts about killing them as they try to hatch because of wrong levels. Temp is set at 100°
