I need help. I'm on a lake and have 10 male ducks that are really hurting the female.
They are wild but she kinda lets me get close.
I put her on the covered dock and she stays underneath the lawn chairs. She is with her male but he is exhausted too.
What can I do? She can't even find a place to nest bc the others bully her. I am feeding her and her mate premium duck food, I bought hay to make her a bed and I take fresh water out everyday.
He wing is screwed up and neck raw.
She a young little girl.
There is a "gang" of 3 males and one is all dark brown. These creeps bully all the other ducks.

Any help would be appreciated. I'm new to this
Thank you
 
Are all the ducks your animals or are the extra males just ducks that have moved in due to the lake/feed? Ultimately you'd either need to pen either the pair or the extras *or* sell/process the extras
 
None of them are mine.
I just had to protect her and her male. She doesn't look good.
She stays on dock but today her neck is bleeding and I just wish I could capture her and the male and bring them inside.
Maybe I need to relocate the bullies.
Any thoughts
 
The best thing is to isolate the male and female as best you can until the three bullies go away. I have had no experience with ducks, but this is what I would do. Sounds like there is a need for more female ducks. I would probably be checking on duck soup recipes.

You can also post on the "Duck thread." where people understand them the best. They may have very good advice for you. Just put "duck thread," in the search box above and it will pop up. I don't know if relocating ducks would help, they probably could find their way back.

Welcome!

I see you have posted on a couple of other Forums and hope that the folks on there were able to help you out. Sorry, I know nothing about ducks but did want to wish you all the best and thank you for caring about her.
