Title: Ticks?
Post by: HoofsandWings on October 14, 2012, 07:07:12 AM

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

Probably lice.

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