My rouen duck has one brown feather in place where one of her iridescent blue ones should be. Anyone know what causes this or what it's called? I've never seen it before and Id love to know

My sister heard my ducks making some noise and found a snake wrapped around one of my 6 and a half week old ducklings. She was almost strangled and was bitten on her neck. I brought both the ducklings inside and cleaned her wound with hydrogen peroxide. What else should I do? I know the snake...
When they were younger i had them out in a cage and the older ducks tried to attack them through the bars, but after they were 3 weeks they've all been free ranging together with no issues
I have 2 four week old ducklings, both girls. My saxony duckling recently started being mean towards my other 3 adult ducks; Chasing them out of the pool, running after them with their beak open, chasing them away from their food, ect. I've seen adult ducks be mean to ducklings but never vice...

Can anyone tell me what's wrong with my girl Celeste? 😢. She hasn't been her normal self today. Shes been standing up stiff and straight like she's in pain, and making grunting noises when she moves. what could it be? The only idea i possibly have is that shes egg bound :(

I’m still struggling with my ducks bumblefoot, at least that’s what i thought it was. i’m starting to think it’s not even that at all. people have been saying this doesn’t look like bumblefoot and that it’s something else entirely. what else could it be??? and how do i fix it? please help asap
One of my hens has a pretty bad case of bumble foot, so i checked the rest of my ducks and i found out my 2 drakes have it too but it’s not that bad. Since they don’t have a scab how can i get the pus and stuff out? also, i can’t really tell if the rest of my flock have it very slightly too, or...
I’m looking to buy an indian or mindian fantail soon, but i’m struggling to find any reliable breeders near me/can ship to me (austin, texas) and aren’t sold out. I’m specifically looking for an almond or beige/dilute-red hen. if anyone knows any breeders that breed those colors, please let me...
we found his egg at a local pond and there was only one blue swedish hen so i know that’s his mother. The only drakes at the pond were mallards, a rouen, and a pekin
My blue swedish drake got his adult feathers recently and he has some brown feathers on him. I’ve never seen one like this, could it just be from his parents if one of them was a mallard or rouen?
