The Duck Thread

[City farm]

I'm not entirely sure if they still have feathers coming in as I thought they were both done until they molted again. However I could be wrong my first time owning ducks so I'm learning as I go!

This is where I'm focused. It gets blurry, but those feathers look like they're still filling out. I would also check for mites. But barring that... I personally think they just need to grow into them! My opinion only. Do they have a place to bathe and flap their wings?

Does it always stay like that? Can you hold him? Maybe pull out his wing and see if there could be one that broke? I think you said 3 months, right? Their feathers will still take a bit more to grow in..

That's what I thought. Blood feathers are heavy!

I would give it for the first 3 or 4 months, while they are doing the most developing.

Dingus.... Is that a technical term?

Well, of course. What else should we call it?

Haha, poor little drake. Guess it's not nice to laugh at his expense though, huh?

I know we shouldn't but one can't help to giggle at some drama. He'd really be in a pickle of that little runner had caught her "worm." He's certainly be on the short end.
