@mr ducks mom can you post a pic please might help if we can see what it looks like holding him up to see how his legs dangle and then with him standing if he can stand, don't force him to stand though if it's painful he may just have a really bad sprain too and they take quite a while to...

If it's feathers you'll begin to feel the pins that hold the feathers. Sounds like progress is being made!!

@lynss94 How did it go putting more bluekote on last night?

Sounds great .. your a good duck mama and dr. . Oyster shell won't help with feather regrowth but it will help her to get much needed calcium while she is laying both her and Pepper. For feather help they need some extra protein. maybe they are still able to find bugs they are not around...

Hopefully she'll leave it alone now and some healing can begin. sounds like she has been working both sides. Who knows why animals do things like this, a behavior become obsessive. I'd keep her out of water for a few days to give the Blue kote time to work.

where do you have her? if you can place a towel over her till it dries that would probably be best. It won't hurt for it to be on her bill but I wouldn't think it would be good for her to eat. Can you hold her with a towel over her would she let you.

Your welcome and please keep us updated on how she is doing.

I like Poultry Nutri Drench they carry them and also they have other poultry vitamins not sure of the names though.

My goodness what a pretty place. I would put vitamins in their drinking water not pool water. And if they have access to pool water daily I doubt very seriously they have mites and I said they because it usually includes the whole flock when you get a mite infestation. To look for mites though...

That's good, I don't think stress either if she is laying good and they will have times when they don't lay to rest their bodies. So try the Blue Kote and some Vitamins what is their day like do they get out and forage around or are they confined to a run? It could just be she has overly preened...

Tractor supply has it. she may not stop laying if she needs certain nutrients but stress can cause them to stop laying, do you think she is stressed by something in her environment? I have always given my flock vitamins especially at certain times like molting or when they begin to start...

I have no idea boredom, obsessiveness maybe lack of a certain nutrient just hard to say.My drake use to worry me because he would chase his tail like he was obsessed with it. Thankfully he finally got over it. Might try adding some poultry vitamins to their water and see if that helps but the...

Have you seen your other duck preening Ollie? sometimes they will do things like this. If you suspect it was your other duck you can put some Blue Kote on her and it will help heal and also disguise the wound, it it is Ollie doing it to herself use the blue kote too. If she can't see it real...
