Hi All, I have two female muscovey ducks that are about a 1 year a a bit old. One lost all her flight feathers in a matter of weeks and the other started to lose hers but stopped half way! Her feather are almost ready to fall out (dirty brown and look unhealthy, sticking out more then usual) but they haven't yet! Been about two months since she started losing them. What does this mean? P.S. She does like to sit on our chicken eggs not sure if this affects the process
 
Aww, the poor girl wants to be a mama! As for the feather thing, I don't think it's a big deal. Wobbles still hasn't shed the flight feathers we had clipped a year ago! Just give it time. If she's not exhibiting any other signs that she's unhealthy, I wouldn't worry.
