I don't quite know what to call it, but as you can see from the pictures, he's lost some feathers there and its just been this sort of redness, and some very little scabbing.
I noticed this, gosh, at least over a week ago. I assumed nothing of it, figuring that another duck maybe bit him or he hurt himself somehow. The tiny scabs I mentioned above where when I first noticed it, now it's just sort of red like this. I've tried pulling back his feathers around his neck to see if its some sort of rash, but it appears this is the only spot.
Does anyone know what it is, and if its serious? Thought I'd make a post since it hasn't gone away yet.
No other ducks in my flock have this.
