please help... pekin duck odd wound

[Marty907]

I have a 4 month old pekin duck that lives with 3 chickens 10 muscovies and 2 geese. She has a weird infected looking cut on her back I don't know how it happened I first saw it today. She is very robust
The cut is shaped like an O with skin with feathers on it in the middle... I don't know what to do... she plays and is so sweet. I hope it is okay...

They have an oil gland in that area, is it near or around it.

 

[Marty907]

It is a few inches away from the preen gland

Most wounds I treat with blue kote, otherwise I don't do much, they seem to heal fine, do you have any male muscovys that might have tried mating her, they have pretty big toenails.

That is what I think is happening... or the goose
