I need some help. My 6 ducklings from Metzer are losing down on their necks and backs. They are about 2 weeks old and one has a visible puffy spot on her neck that looks really irritated. What could be causing it? Could it be bedding? Vitamin deficiency?
I use old bed sheets as the bedding right now, could it be the dye in them irritating them?
I feed an all flock feed as well, could that be it?
I really dont want it to be something serious, I would hate to lose them.
Anything I can do to help?
I can post pictures if that would help any.
