Ducks loose feathers on head

[myduckduckie]

My duck is getting new feathers on his head but his head always gets dirty from his food and the old feathers stick to it. what can i do? Sometimes i carefully pick the old feathers off his head.

Does he have a way to clean his head after eating like a deep bucket or bowl?

Yes but he doesnt wash everyday

-Where on his head is he losing feathers? Around the eyes, on the back of his head, random bald patches etc.

-Are the feathers still attached that you are pulling or just loose feathers stuck on?

-What feed are you feeding and what % is the protein?

-Does he have water to swim around to clean himself and preen? Or just a waterer?

1. Around his whole neck and head. no bald places.
2. The feathers are loose stuck on it i only do the ones where i can see the back end of the feather stick out.
3. I dont know out of my head what his food is called. he does get mealworms and veggies. When i get home i will send a picture of his food.
4. My duck has wet feather so we wash him inside.

Sorry for the bad english.
