The eggs are still in the nest. I’m shocked they have not been eaten. I also have not witnessed my big boys gaining up on her. They seem to protect her more than anything. We have a weird dynamic here. We have 5 males total and 2 are stuck like glue to each other. I’m thinking they are...
She has two large male Muscovy body guards so I’m wondering if it was a mating injury. Another thought is she placed her nest where she could easily be cornered by a predator. She has abandoned the nest so I’m wondering if she was injured there. I keep hoping to see her putting some weight on...
Thank you! She is still the same today but I will keep checking on her. Do you know if a broken leg will heal on its own with time or could this possibly be the end for her?
Thank you! Just hearing that makes me feel better! I don’t want to cause her any undo stress. She seems content and we had a few others that have had issues and they cleared up. Honestly the thought of catching her terrifies me 😂. Thank you for responding so fast and giving me some peace.
She has been lame for 2 days. Still eating and hoping around. She is not a pet so handling her would take some work😊. Any thoughts on if this leg is sprained or broken? She does have a male partner so wondering if he just got too rough with her.
We have a Muscovy at our pond that has a nest and an injured leg. Is it best to just let her be? She hops around, swims, eats etc. She just kind of drags the bad foot.
