My GWT had quite a few ticks on it. I was a little surprised. I guess this common at this time of year.

I never new ducks could get ticks

It seems like they could just pluck them off, but I don't know

Probably lice.

Probably lice.

About an eighth of an inch long and hard shell. Looked like wood ticks.
They were brownish-gray.
