Lump on duck

[Miss Lydia]

Honestly best way to tell what this is would be to catch him so you can examine and get some good pics so we can help.

That looks like he eats a lot of food.

My ducks eat a lot of food and don’t have anything like that hanging from them. Please explain what you mean.

You could be right and the Duck is suffering

You’re definitely not looking at the same abnormality we are.

Oh, my bad, I missed that. Zoomed in and now I see it!

Don’t feel bad, I thought the OP meant the crop at first. They had to point it out to me.

Could something be impaled in him? Remember the duck a few years ago that had the wood stuck in her?

 

[Pyxis]

That brown growth is definitely abnormal. I agree that you should catch him to get a better look at what it is. Can you catch him at night when he is asleep?

It is very reminiscent of an abscess. If only there was a clearer picture.
