Duck eye issue please help

[Whitsr]

I am unsure what is going on with tge duck's eye in the photo. If that was my duck I would start doing saline washes twice a day and see what happens. You can make saline solution dissolving 1 tablespoon table salt in 1 cup of previously boiled and cooled water. Use cotton wool balls or squares of clean old cotton cloth (eg an old tee shirt cut into 2 inch squares). Dip the ball or square into the saline solution and wipe one eye once from one side to the other, then discard the cotton ball or cloth. Then take another ball/square, dip in saline and wipe the eye again. Do this 2 or three times. Turn the duck round and treat the other eye. I find it easiest to wrap the duck in a big old towel so that just the head and a little neck is sticking out. Hold the duck against your body with one arm. And use your free hand for wiping the eye.

Let us know how you get on and if the white goes away or something else develops

Thank you!!! Will begin tomorrow

Well to me that just looks normal , it’s her coloring . I do have Ducks that have similar white around eyes, but I could be wrong so do what Ruth said

I've concluded it's feathers. I didn't expect her to change so young, she's two!

I think it looks pretty. It looks sparkly. This one of mine has an extra pretty amount of white around her eyes. Her name is nutmeg. She is five weeks old. She is 3/4 FWRunner and 1/4 Cayuga lolView attachment 4172573

Omg I love nutmeg!!

He’s gorgeous and his eyes sparkle, whether or not he has spots

He is the most gorgeous looking and lovely natured duck ever. He has a lemon tinge to his feathers (his down is pure white) and at the moment he hasn't been bitten too often by the muscovy drakes, so his feathers are in good condition.

I have had him and his brother since they were 2 - 2.5 weeks from hatching, estimated as he had no feathers at all only down. Sadly, his brother had bowed tibia when I received him and despite 13 weeks of intensive care, I was unable to keep him walking. They are jumbos and the brother was the larger of the two. They doubled in size the first week and ate me out of house and home! I'll not go into details of the leg and gait issues but brother also had blocked tear ducts and was on Durvet for weeks, so his tears were a yellow color and stained the feathers round his eyes. He passed away last Sunday over night. Albi was with him throughout the 13 weeks of intensive physio and care. They both did swim therapy together until midMay, from when Albi just came and stood by the tote while Benji had his physio, then he came and watched us in the screened rear porch while I dried Albi. He always shouted me to come when it was time to go bed and the flock were moving towards their digs in the shed. He was with Benji when he passed although Benji was in a pet carrier over night to stop him getting trampled on. They talked to each other all the time, so he knew Benji had died. Now Albi has joined Daffy following me round the garden when I am out there; he still calls me to walk with him down to the shed at bed time. He goes to bed first, before the rest of the boys. He hasn't an ounce of aggression in him, quite a standout among my boys. My other pekin drake has no flight feathers because he attacks my white muscovy drake. He comes straight out of his cubicle in the morning and tries to bite the muscovy's carruncles. Last year the muscovy sulked all year, taking himself off to sit on the top of the compost pile each day where the pekin couldn't reach him, or staying in the duck house standing atop the pekin's dog crate. But this year the white muscovy has found his moxie and fights back. At 15lbs weight, he is twice the size of the aggressive pekin, and so he has inflicted serious damage on the pekin over the months. Yet the pekin hasn't learnt, and gets up each day and immediately goes to bite the white muscovy's carruncles. It must hurt so he gets what he deserves in return. He's my raggedy boy. Albi is my beautiful boy.

You know what I was just looking at my Cayuga olive and she has the same spots. I think it’s a Cayouga thing because my mixed ducklings are all apart Cayuga and some of them have it.
