Video coming this weekend of their quacks. I noticed something odd with my suspect drake tonight. They have a small 125 gal. koi pond liner available to them always but I was also filling a kiddie pool tonight and observing the larger one's behavior. He was his typical self, splashing, getting in and out of the pool, running around the pool, preening, etc. but then he stood in the pool as it was filling with his rump tilted up (pic just shows the posture), pulsating the vent, and a small amount of clear liquid was dripping out. I have just started researching this and I'm reading quite a bit about vent gleet. What I've read says the condition is most often associated with not having access to water (not the case with my ducks) and that feather's below the vent are often soiled with feces and urates...my duck doesn't have this. I tried my best to see the skin in the area to see what I could see but that was very difficult. Their feathers are so darn dense! I feel fairly certain nothing was prolapsed. Any advice? I did however, also read that if this is in fact vent gleet...it usually affects females! ...so my he may be a she 
When I put them back in the coop tonight, I always pick up the one I'm referring to as female because she doesn't squirm as much ...and the "male" always follows....quacking loudly!!
Hello Miss Lydia,!"he" is however, vocalizing more in the last month than previously. "he is getting so green and beautiful. The female has a lot of color too which isn't showing up as well in this photo but still quite a bit less than the "male".
Hello Miss Lydia,
