My one-year old drake is going through his first molt and all of the feather loss that is happening appears to be normal, healthy, no issues there..... However, he doesn't seem to be regrowing the feathers he is shedding and I'm starting to become really concerned. He's literally shrinking...

Thank you for the suggestion! I will pick up some oyster shell for her today at the feed store. I'm also noticing too that when she's not sleeping she's become quite testy lately, doing these VERY loud quacks (that scare the shit out of me lmao) and generally just being kinda bratty... And she...
