Pekin duck & wet feather
I was going to use Dawn bc of how muddy he is and not bathing properly and the mud can cause the oil glands to not work properly causing wet feather and I think that’s what’s happening in this case. I’d post pictures but it’s downpouring and turning icy so I’m hoping tomorrow morning I’ll be... -

Pekin duck & wet feather
I’ll give that a try to. It’s hard to keep him dry with it being winter. He’s always in the snow, ice, and rain -

Pekin duck & wet feather
If it’s wet feather, I know it’s okay to use Dawn dish soap to help the oil glands. I feel like he does have wet feather bc he looks like a drowned rat when he gets wet 😂 -

Pekin duck & wet feather
I see no parasites or anything like that. I should say that he’s special needs. He doesn’t walk much. So I’m wondering if it’s bc he’s not drying properly, he’s always wet on his belly. The same thing happened over the summer. I did a very thorough Dawn dish soap bath and kept him inside and... -

Pekin duck & wet feather
It seems like my Pekin duck has wet feather. His entire stomach is missing feathers. It’s hard to keep him dry, they’re in a fenced in area with no roof for shelter but do have a shed to go into but he loves to be out in the rain and snow and playing in puddles 24/7. With it being the dead of... -

Missing feathers on Pekin ducks neck
Yeah I definitely didn’t see any parasites on him. I don’t have a camera set up but I do know that when they all eat and drink Lucky (my special needs duck) will push his way through & the others will peck at him but Lucky will peck right back at them. Otherwise they all get along just fine. -

His belly has a lot of missing feathers and short feathers which we assumed was from being wet a lot & sitting a lot since he’s special needs but the same thing is happening on his neck now. The... -

Ducks not eating & drinking
For the past 2 days, my 13 ducks haven’t really been eating or drinking out of their pool. It’s been below 32° so their pool is freezing and icing over so I’m always breaking it up and getting the ice out. I know they won’t eat if they don’t have water. The only time they are drinking is when... -

Duck Shelter
We currently have 13 ducks and we’re wondering where we can get a coop for ducks that’s big enough for 13 of them! -

Peking duck with balance problems!
We rescued a male Peking duck back in May after being found wondering the streets of a city for who knows how long without the proper food & water. His feathers were all scraggly looking due to lack of oil production so we gave him a bath with Dawn dish soap which did the trick plus medicated... -

HELP! Harlequin duck's bottom is dragging
The ducks have gotten Niacin ever since they were babies since it was in their feed. And now we put a pinch of Niacin powder in their feed now. Our Peking ducks were always having a problem with Niacin deficiency so we've been staying on top of giving them Niacin daily. I'll give the liquid B... -

HELP! Harlequin duck's bottom is dragging
I've been at work since 7am so I haven't seen her yet since we keep them in the cage until mid morning. But according to my parents, she seems to be about the same as yesterday.
