Pin/Blood Feather Fell Out?

[ForestAlice]

Hi everyone. We had just taken our duck out of his bath and he flapped his wings a bit, and this developing feather fell to the ground.


There was blood at the tip of it, but we can’t find where it came from on his body, since he doesn’t seem to be bleeding from wherever it fell out. There was lots of blood and a membrane inside of the feather.

When he shook himself dry, there was no blood splatter and now he’s just preening himself like nothing’s wrong. Should we still keep an eye on him for potential bleeding or is he in the clear?
Thanks as always!

Sounds like he will be just fine. I treat broken blood feathers by pulling them out to stop the bleeding. Not an issue here as the feather is already out. Best of luck!
