Hi guys, I just got 3 Pekin ducks from someone. 1 male, 2 females. The females look like they're overmated? They both have missing neck feathers. But this one has missing feathers on her eyes as well. And she has a horrible beak!
Is this from over mating or is it a fungal thing? Poor girl!

That poor duck. It does look like wounds. You should know if
they begin to heal. I've seen duck hens get very messed up from too many drakes.
 
Hi.

Wow... your drake is really awful with his girls : I have seen overmated hens, but I have never seen such wounds on them...!!

I have her seperated from them atm, so she heals some. Hopefully it doesn't stress her out.

It is your drake that you should separate from both girls.
And as soon as possible!

Don't let him together with your hens until mating season has ended up, or he could kill them eventually.

(Good luck.)
