I think my ducks have wet feather. What should I do going forward?
Hello everyone. Over the past week or so, I’ve started to notice that my ducks (two 8 week old Pekin-Rouen mixes, and two 7 week old Pekins) appear to have developed wet feather.

My white call duck Sugar seems to be getting wet unlike the rest of my flock that use their preen glands to help them not get wet. I’ve tried doing research on wet feathers which led me to look at her preen gland. I have attached photos. It looks normal to me besides the fact that there is so...- Dunkin Ducks

Muscovy Males
Does anyone know why "adult males" would start having drooping wings and weak legs and finally die. At first it was only the white ones and now the colored alpha, 2years old, is having this issue. I changed feed, gave niacin, gave protein, nothing seems to change. None of the other poultry... -

My ducks voice got lost?
So one of my male Pekín ducks (2 years old) recently started quacking strangely. It’s like he has voice, and now sounds a bit like a female duck. What’s the problem and what should I do? He seems to be acting normal with his brother. His brother is fine, I’m just worried. Thanks, -Christian- Christian_duckssss
