    Broken dry Pekin laying duck feathers

    I have a two year old happy laying Pekin, she is my only duck that has feathers with this broken dry appearance. Is there anything I can change for her feather health to improve. She has access to fresh water daily, free roaming as well.

    What on earth is this? Help!

    I’m pretty sure it came from one of my drakes but not 100%. I just saw him shaking his beak back and forth like he was attempting to dislodge something or wasn’t keen on what he’d eaten. He’s vocalising and breathing normally but seems hesitant to eat. Would not eat millet and has had only...
