I'm a first time duck owner so every new thing my girl does I have to make sure is ok, even though I've had her for 7 months
So I've noticed a few things, black diarrhea (not watery) and when I was petting her near her tail a bunch of feathers came off (gently petting not rough at all), it's in the 40s where I am so do they get winter feather coats? I don't know why feathers would be coming off so easily. she was on our porch sleeping on one leg which I read was to keep their body temperature regulated, Other then that shes been fine, acting normal, eating and drinking, swimming etc.. I was thinking the poop was something she ate since she free ranges our backyard but I just want to make sure she's ok
