I have noticed that my female indian runner and also my female khaki campbell seem to have quite dry and sort of bare wings, it looks like they have been pecked at alot or maybe it's just general bad feather condition. We feed them on layers, they have access to lots of water and also eat lots of worms and other creepies in the garden.

Do you think it could be their diet that is influencing this bad condition and if so what can I give them to help or is it down to them fighting?

Hi

Have you checked it for mites? it could be that or it might be down to the yearly molt which they loses there feather to grow new ones for winter.

mitch

Sounds like they are molting, mine are at the moment and look awful - the drake looks like he's been plugged into a toaster - all fluff and only a few feathers!!!
