Should I be concerned?

[J1Bern]

I have two Rouen ducks. Not sure of their sex yet but am concerned about one that has deep grooves/lines on his neck. Can anyone tell me if this is something to be concerned about? I also have noticed feathers on his legs. Is this normal?

Ah! Nope, I don't think either is anything to be worried about... feather stubs only if you intend on breeding towards a standard and selling... grooves look to be just from relaxed skin...

Thank you so much. Glad to have a positive opinion.

Very welcome! I understand how it is to worry, and not knowing if something is a concern or not makes me worry, lol...

I am not sure about its neck but it looks in very good health overall

Geese have that look quite often... I don't think it's a concern...

Yeah that's totally normal in geese, nothing to be worried about. Just loose skin under the feathers It's probably the same thing here.
