Ruptured Air sac?

[lovehannah43]

I’m thinking my two call ducklings have ruptured air sacs. Is that what this is? My daughter asked me what was wrong with their necks so I thought maybe they were getting new feathers. When changing their bedding tonight, I noticed it’s swollen and red on both of them in the same spot. WHAT DO I DO???

Can you post a picture of one of them? Not sure what air sac you are talking about. Their crop maybe?

Make sure the area is not their crop where the food and water is stored. A ruptured air sac is when they have air under the skin, usually from a bump or injury, but sometimes from an infection. It would help to see a picture and know where the problem is. Do you have male ducks or other birds who could be bothering or pecking them?
Here are some good threads to read, and in the second one post 1 is a good video of treating a leaking air sac:

I am thinking that you are confusing the crop agreed pictures needed.
