Someone told me once, that it HURTS when the feather shafts start growing. Birds get achy and tender to the touch so the last thing they want is to be touched or cuddled until those shafts are well into growth. It makes since since all my birds, ducks or chickens seem to go through the crabby nasty phase when they first start feathering.

They can be sensitve. Especially when they all are growing so quickly all at once. They have additional blood flow to them, blood feathers. White feathers are softer then darker feathers usually too.

It's because they know they are meat ducks! You'd be grouchy too!

 

[Bleenie]

Meat Ducks??

Please! These brats are spoiled daily and when i do have to find the boy a home he's gonna go to a good pet home

I'm gonna try my best to find all the boys good pet/breeding homes so i am really hoping there's not too many!

 

[Funky Feathers]

Haaaa, but they still KNOW what they are. What they were originally bred for. Prey animals know who they are.

That's nice to know...makes sense now that even the ducky who is the sweetest (first to greet me) squawked REALLY loud when I had to pick her up.

It was like I hurt her although I KNOW I did it gently...guess she was achey. Poor babies.
