I've lurked on the forum for years and we have had chickens for years too. We recently adopted 3 ducks and a drake that were in need of a new home. They are 1yo Buff Orphingtons. A couple of days ago I noticed that our drake seemed to have a very dirty bottom, but as these guys weren't used to being handled by their previous owner and are just starting to get comfortable around us I wasn't able to catch him for a closer look. Today I noticed a very foul smell coming from him and something hanging underneath (which I thought was some poop). I was able to catch him for a closer look and it appears what is hanging down isn't poop and is certainly something that should not be on the outside. Being new to ducks I have no idea what this is. His penis? Part of an intestine? Is there any way to help him or do we need to put him down?
