Skin issues?

[Cbutler]

Has anybody seen this in their ducks? We just noticed it.

Been following this and curious as well. I had noticed a small spot just like this on our blue runners back also, just no idea what it is.

We bathed her in dawn soap every other day, separated her from the others, didn’t allow access to swimming water, it’s almost gone now. No idea what it was @Runner duck mom how is yours doing?

She seems to be eating just fine. They have access to free range during the day, when they get back up for the night they all go crazy eating. She’s back with the other ducks now.

It’s not all over her, just her back. I don’t know if it’s from over mating, since one of my drakes is aggressive or if something is going on. I will check for bugs when it’s light too

I only noticed it when she got out of the pool and flapped to dry off. It’s directly between shoulder blades (wing blades?) It’s especially weird because she has no feathers there. I have 2 other girls molting, they don’t have this though,so maybe?

 

[Cbutler]

I see no bugs, no spots anywhere else. It does come off, but not easily or comfortably for her. I took some better photos

Skin slouching off? Maybe @casportpony has seen this before I just can’t imagine it’s something harmful.

That's fantastic, Very glad she is looking better after some TLC
Our girl actually passed away due to totally unrelated medical issues, which was how we noticed her skin issue in the first place.
All the other ducks are looking good, happy and healthy so her skin issue didn't seem to be anything contagious.
So glad to hear your girl is doing better!
