Just to update, the plucker was successfully rehabilitated, mostly! Unfortunately, the one he was plucking the most got picked on by the rest too. I put him back and found one of them all bloody. So now 3 of them are happy (occasional plucking from the problem duck on rainy days but that’s all), and I’ve been caring for the wounded one while their feathers grow in. The wounded one is healed now, just waiting a while to reintroduce that one.
If anyone with a similar problem reads this, i think giving grass to the problem duck was super helpful. I notice him outside ripping out grass violently lol so maybe he just likes to rip things out. Also I did boost his protein for a few days with scrambled egg and have been using niacin supplements.
