Drake with foaming eyes?

[Stoney Meadow Maple]

My drake looked funny this morning, upon closer inspection it is foam, which is wetting his feathers. What is it, and what do i do about it. They have a water bucket and a pool which get changed daily. They are on Dumor All Flock. The other 7 seem fine.

Foamy Eye Foamy Eye is just what it sounds like, excessive foaming in the ducks eye. This problem is more common in Drakes, probably due to them having more caruncling than hens, but there's no way to really be sure. It is most commonly caused by lack of bathing & injury to the eye but it can also be brought on by stress & sudden changes in the weather. It is more common in Winter because some ducks bathe less or have less access to bath water during that time. Foamy eye is usually easily fixed by providing clean bath water for the bird(s) & making sure they bathe well.

In some cases, Foamy Eye can be a sign of underlying Illness or Disease. If the bird is not having any other obvious problems such as wheezing, runny nose, coughing or being lethargic then there is probably no cause for concern.

Thank you all! He looks better today, I can’t say how much ACV he actually got on it, we will have ointment once my wife gets back.
