Does she have bald patches where the feathers had gone? What is the protein content of the feed she's on?Hi! At first I thought it might be molt, but then I googled the age a duck first molts and it said a duck could molt at 10 weeks, except she was only 8 at that time. Then as soon as those feather grew back, she immediately lost them again and doesn’t seem to be regrowing them this time.
I also noticed today that her cheeks have what look like yellow staining on them, near her bill area.
I’m a worry wart and it’s probably nothing, but also figure it’s better safe than sorry! Lol
It could be feather picking, or simply a messy moult, not sure what else it could be. I'd just keep an eye on it.
I get being a worry wart! I am too, lol
