Muscovy duck with abnormal gizzard. Advice Needed.

But if it's food it should go down. @GoldenFlight said it's been that way for over a week.

It's called pendulous crop. It is NOT normal.

Just so you are aware, this thread is a few years old. I wonder what happened to OP's drake

I am wondering what happened as well, as my Hinny Drake is showing like the picture earlier in the post today for the first time. When he walks it's like its filled with water as it sways side to side. Before posting, I did realize that he didn't look like this this morning so I believe it's because he ate too much of the treats I handed out that should have been enough for him, his brother, and his sister (half the size of boys)

One of my Buff females after a day of eating and foraging looks very similar by morning it's back to normal.

Looks like the leg band should be clipped off.

Yep, clipped off and a new one was put on. You couldn't see it but there were gaps on the original but it was definitely time to swap it out.

Very pretty duck by the way!

Thank you, his name is Apollo. He is one of Daffy & Daisy's firstborn.
