Getting a new duck

Date sort Score sort
Here is a picture, she was bleeding, but not any more, we had her in a chicken pen (shed) in a closed off area but she got out, she wanted to be with our big drake, so the chickens attacked her when I was gone but I think the drake protected her, so I put her in the run with the drake because the drake doesn't hurt her, but the chickens flew in and attacked her again. :( I'm keeping her inside though.

I am not sure how old she is....the wounds don't look to deep except for one by her wing...she can still move her wing though! :)
Thank you so much!! I will do everything thing you said. :D

Also, my chicken that got attacked by a bobcat is limping now, like the bobcat broke her leg when he grabbed her. Is she going to be ok? She only walks a little but she still eats.

I'm glad that it's not looking too serious. How is she doing? Is she eating and drinking okay?

Great news about your duckling. I would def keep her inside she still isn't feathered in yet and the down isn't much protection from preds[chickens] or weather.

As for your lil chicken look at her leg if it's broken you could try some vet wrap to help stabilize it while it is healing. You just have to be careful not to wrap too tight or you'll cut off the circulation. Depending on if it's a break and where it is. If you can post a pic here or in the Emergency section maybe we can help.
 
She is eating and drinking fine, I washed her up and put some antibiotic ointment on her wounds. As for the chicken I will look at her leg to see if it is broken, you said to put it in the Emergency section...were is that? :/
