I was thinking fly strike.

Sure wish the @Jeffriesfamilyof4 would post whether these ducklings have been outside. It does look similar to fly strike.

What is this?!
View attachment 2136594View attachment 2136595View attachment 2136596Went to get my ducks for a bath and found this spot on one of them, I have no idea where it came from! It just showed up in the last day or 2!
There is no punctuation wound.

I'd also like to see what these ducklings are being kept in during the day/night, one has very poor feather loss, and both have very little water repellency. The wound needs to be taken care of with either a triple antibiotic ointment or a poultry antibacterial spray like Vetericyn. What are these birds being fed, have they had any other problems in the past, are they showing any other symptoms as of now?

I have seen what comes out of a fly strike.

I’d just as soon not see!

I think they have only been in the brooder but that doesn’t mean flys couldn’t be there.

I'm so sorry y'all I've not gotten any notifications that anyone has replied.
Have have been outside a couple hours a day but they're mainly kept inside.
They're only 4 weeks old so we still keep them inside

I think it’s fly strike which is pretty serious. Unfortunately I don’t know how to properly treat it. It probably has a bot fly under the skin

The ducklings are in a something similar to this.
They're 4 weeks old their brooder is cleaned every other day some times every day with shavings put down. They're fed starter, Clean water multiple times a day. I have an order of vetericyn coming first thing tomorrow morning.
No other issues, they were with 6 chickens till about 2 weeks ago when they got too big so I moved them to their own brooder

Estimation on how big the brooder is? It looks fairly small from the picture. Four weeks old, and only cleaning every other day or once a day, the bedding is going to be soiled and stinky. Can you get a close picture of the wound?
