RE: Duck Lice
mike, didn't mean to scare you, but it's definitely something to be aware of. Like WF07 said, I have noticed a few more of them on my ducks this year. I don't know what part of the country you are in, but we have been seeing them here in the South. I don't think it is anything to worry about, but they're still nasty. I have been reading about them a little more today at work and it looks like they do not infect humans. Apparantly they survive on feathers and duck dander.
