Duck Isn't Doing Very Well

Hanging down some?

A little it looks like, but I'll watch him to see if anything improves

I see the feathers your talking about. But in the normal course of birds (I had larger duck sized parrots for a while.) the feathers would do that if they were about to loose the feather. That maybe all it is if it is that just let nature take its course and he will remove it when it is time to take it out and a new one will come in when it is ready. It very well could have been a damaged follicle from when he was struggling to move around and it just decided that it was time to go.

That seems plausible, I'll see if he starts molting soon.

Hey everyone! Narcissus is doing so fantastic! He's not tripping whatsoever and he runs so fast it's unbelievable! Never have I seen him with this much energy, he's even started bobbing his head affectionately at me again. This wouldn't have happened without everyone's help, thank you so so so much! You guys are life savers, and I'll be sure to come to this forum with all questions I have about him, because I know you will be able to help me. Again, thank you!
