    Who's the head of your pecking order?

    [Help Needed] Mild Tail Injury - Seemingly Scabbed Over Possible Complications

    Hello everyone. It's my first post here so bear with me on this one. 25 minutes ago, I discovered that one of my ducks has an injury in her tail area. It seems to be scabbed over, but there's a bit of yellowness on some of the feathers which has me concerned. It is entirely possible this wound...
