HELP why are my duck’s feathers pink??

[twolilquacklings]

My duck Pabby has pink feathers?? It looks as if the bone is exposed but i’m not sure. Does anyone have any idea what this is or what could’ve caused it?? What should I do?

They look stained by something, is there stuff she can run against that's orange, pink, red etc?
Sometimes older grow out feathers are a different color.

The "bone" that you are seeing is actually the shaft of the feather. Based on the back of her head and the location it looks like the feathers are in poor condition because she is being over mated. It can be hard for a hen to properly preen herself if she is being constantly mated by drakes.

Maybe she just keeps getting them dirty

Thank you this is helpful. How do you suggest I help her?? I can’t get anymore ducks and they both have separation anxiety.

How many drakes to ducks do you have?
