I have another question
I got 3 buff ducks yesterday and they look pretty sad! I was told they are less than a year old, they are all females. I was told that one of them is really broody ( she looks the worst) her feathers are all dirty and tattered looking. One of the other ones is missing feathers on her neck which I am assuming is from the drake they had but she also seems to be missing wing feathers. As for the other one she looks halfway decent. They all seem underweight they are all a lot smaller than my 10 week old pekin. I don't think thy have been handled much because they are terrified of me I have not put them in with my ducks yet. I'm a little worried they may have lice or mites, they seem to ruffle their feather and even scratch quite a bit. My question is what do I need to do to fix these girls up?
I really appreciate all the great advice I get here!
Thanks!!!
