Injury on a Peking duck

[AliviaDoyle]

I just came home and noticed that there was blood on my ducks wing, could it just be a blood feather? Since I noticed he was having a soft molt. He didn’t seem to be in distress when I was trying to move the feathers aside to see where the injury is coming from.

I would guess that it was most likely an injured pin feather. Monitor to make sure the flock is not picking at it.

I’ve separated him just in case and I’m keeping him inside for the time being

Spray with Blue Kote. It is antiseptic and the lilac color does not attract the other ducks to pick at it in the way a red injury attracts other ducks to bite
