Probably a stupid question but: What is "vaxed"?

Vaccinated. In this case for Marek's disease.

Vaxed= vaccinated I believe.

I am going to the Augusta swap on Saturday and bringing three or 4 male ducks, time to clean house.
Two will be year old Kahki Campbells, and a one year old Muscovy that should not be bred, he has a feather that sticks out sidewards. If my other male Muscovy is not re-homed this week I will bring him to.

do you know what happened to the feather? could it be a broken feather or damaged follical, inwhich case that would not affect his genes. (not that I am looking for a duck, just asking)

It grew crooked as he grew, and has stayed that way, so I am assuming it is crappy genetics, I suppose it could be a damaged follicle, I would not know how to tell.

no real way to tell unless he had offspring with the same or siblings.

Sorry, yes, that's what I meant. Vaccinated against Marek's disease.
