    Injury to Duck's Head

    I have fantastic news about Moe, my little lake duck friend who was severely injured by aggressive male mating. The large lump/cyst protruding from the side of her head protruded even more one day and then - it was gone!! We think that, when we relocated the aggressive males, she had a chance...

    Injury to Duck's Head

    I'm in Bridgeport, TX. Actually, I think this injury is related to the overly-aggressive mating. She was also missing feathers down the back of her neck around that particular wound.

    Question re: Specific Injury to Duck's Head

    There is a group of four ducks ("The Core Four") that live on the lake where I have a home. The neighbors in our cove LOVE these ducks and they are pretty domesticated, as far as feeding and watching over them. (They see me and come running to me.) Peace reigned for years until these two male...
