    Tips of Wings Dark

    No, those are just wood chips from trees my husband chipped. They're not dyed.

    Tips of Wings Dark

    Hmm I can't remember the last time they did....I think it's been at least since March that they've molted.

    Tips of Wings Dark

    They are only a year and a half.... They get a kiddie pool of water filled up in the summer. I wondered if it could just be dirt but it seemed weird to only be on those feathers.

    Tips of Wings Dark

    I thought of that after I posted! I'll attach a pic.... I would have to check their food but it has always been one for all flock. They don't get very many snacks....

    Deep Litter Questions w/ Ducks
