Hi everyone, my American Pekin male duck has been losing lots of feathers, but it seems very abnormal that he's losing them in random spots. He almost looks bald in the neck and head region and he's lost a great amount of feathers on his wings.

Other than that, his behaviour is pretty close to normal

If anyone has an idea of what could be going on please let me know! Or tips on how to help him re grow his feathers

Thank you

watch for predators too, I had a fox come in and go on a killing spree in my coop. I caught it in the act so I know it was a fox. It just took the heads off the birds and moved on to the next. It was horrible. But I had one duck that it had a hold of and it looks a lot like that now. It ripped the feathers off the wing it was holding down and took the almost all the feathers off the neck in the same place. The duck got away. That was from a fox but I imagine a big enough house cat, or a dog could do the same to a bird.
