A female mallard was brought to me today, she was found at a park being gang raped. Her neck is totally missing feathers but it's the wings that I'm worried about. Every one of her blood feathers have been broken. After washing her up, I had her in an outdoor pen and when I went out this evening to lock them up I found her covered in flies and maggots. I've cleaned her up again using a brush I remove the maggots, diluted betadine to kill germs and then used a natural flea killer for pets and sprayed her down. My question is, since she has so many broken blood feathers will these fall out and will new ones come in before the fall?
