My drake has an area on the back of his neck, near his back that is very red, irritated and there is feather loss with a strange look to the skin (perhaps the skin would be considered normal if not so red).
I will try to send a couple pics. He doesn't really seem to be bothered by it though he does stretch his head way over his back and kind of swish it from side to side. I think it has gotten bigger in the past week or so. I tried a silver cream and that may have made it worse so I just sprayed Vetericyn on it which in the past seems to calm irritated skin issues (I had forgotten about it til today).
Any thoughts? The rest of the three seem fine and I would be more inclined to think another bird did it to him except that I never see the females on his back - as he obviously is on theirs.
Sorry the pics did not come out good. For some reason they focussed on the grass instead of his neck.
