Pekin duck tucking tail down

[Cdacosta]

If he is acting normal in every other way eating drinking foraging interacting with his brother maybe it is just a quirt with him. I just can't imagine what it could be and since he only does it every so often, Some things are just baffling. Oh does he do the tail tucking when walking or just when standing still?

Just when he’s standing still and then usually after he’s done tucking his tail he will lay down for a few minutes and then be okay again so I’m thinking maybe he’s sore or something.

Check his vent area out to make sure everything looks normal. And his poop is normal and not having any problem pooping.

Everything is normal around his vent, I have been doing Epson salt baths and he will be fine for a bit then tucks again so I’m not sure maybe he’s sore…

I wonder if he has an injury but seems he would be doing the tail tucking all the time unless the pain isn't always there.
