Feather Loss.

As you can see from the picture she has some missing feathers on her wings, is this from drakes? Or from something else? I also don’t understand why her wings always look brown and muddy, she has a pond she can clean herself in.

She’s beautiful.
I can see the feathers missing from her wing. I don’t see nip marks on the back of her neck though. That’s what I see more with the drakes.

Hopefully it’s not an infection. Or lice or bug of some sort. I’ve never seen this before. Hopefully someone here is able to identify the issue...good luck!
