My problem duck!

Keep her where flies can’t get on her. @Saxe0923

Hello...Is your pen that wet everywhere?...That's not good if it is. Ducks need dry areas although they need water.

I would get her indoors for a while. If the pen ground stays wet, it needs to be drained, regraded, something to get rid of standing water. Hang on, sometimes more than one issue seems to crop up.

Does she have a wound? Where exactly are the maggots

8
She's got 2 dime sized areas on her back and a few areas on her tail that are infested. Her vent too.

No, we just had a really hard rain before I took the picture. That's just where I was able to get her still to take the pic. Their area is quite large and most stays pretty dry

No idea where the 8 came from. She has 4 areas that can be really located

We’re you able to get the maggots out and off?

Years ago, our local feed store sold an insecticide soap that was safe for poultry and other livestock. We used it one summer for warbles. It was like an epsom salt bath, but the little buggers really didn't like the stuff and would wiggle out of their holes to get away. It was disgusting to watch, but very effective! I don't see it on the TSC website and don't remember what it was called. Does anyone know what it was or what can be used instead?
