Sick Duck

[BrittManni]

Hey guys, I have 5 chicks and two ducks. One of my ducks is losing feathers and has sores on either side of her body. I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. Can anyone help?

How old are the chicks?

Give us an idea of how their coop is set up and what they are eating.

And I asked ages of chicks because chickens are known for eating on others.

We got them as young chicks in March so probably around 4 or 5 months. I know part of it was a wet environment, and I have moved added more bedding. She is separated from the other duck and chicks and her feathers are starting to grow back. But I'm still concerned the cause.

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't the chickens especially if her feathers are growing back in. Glad to hear that by the way. Also some good poultry vitamins can help boost up her immune system too.
