Muscovy Feather question, something doesn't look right

[kysilkies]

We've noticed the feathers on a couple of our muscovies just aren't as sharp and "pretty" as usual, looking a little ragged...Someone said it may be a deficiency, anyone familiar and if so, what's the cure?!?!

I hope this shows it well enough:

I can see some feathers in his wings and tail looking a litle rough- Over time a ducks feathers will start to look a little ragged.. Do you know when he last molted??

He's 6 mths old and I'm not sure we've seen anything molt...

Folic acid and Vitamin A are two inportant vitamins needed for good feathering - But your drake isnt looking too bad. I have seen many that have got a lot of boken tips and much rougher looking feathers.
