Losing tail feathers

[Pekinmomma]

My pekin has been losing tail feathers but not any other feathers on her body. Her tail has been bald for about 3 weeks now and no sign of new feathers....any idea if i should be concerned or not?

Can you post a pic of her. Any other ducks or poultry that could be plucking her?

My pekin lots his tail feathers before he was sick amd died. He was falling backwards and using his tail for balance

A pick would really help, if the skin looks raw or irritated, you might want to disinfect it with vetrycin, because that could means she is getting pecked by other fowl.

The remaining feathers on the rest of the body, how is their condition? Is she clean looking? Are the feathers tattered? Broken feathers? Where she is missing feathers, does it look as if there are new ones growing in? Pekin chicken or duck? Do you have other chickens/ducks? How are their feathers? Do you have a male?
