I have been letting everyone stay out late foraging. My partner heard some quacking I went to check and I couldnt see anything. I thought it was just the drakes getting at the girls because I left the gate open. I went to get my shoes to start putting them away and heard the door slam and my partner started yelling. A fox was literally right at our back door and it had Abbey by the neck. My partner chased it off. They must have known it was around because my australorp Shiela had put herself to bed and usually she would play hide and seek with me. Im so angry at myself I let this happen.
I cant find any wounds, Abbey looks fine. He's having trouble holding his head up and his voice is really strained I think its just some bruising. Ive put him in my 'duck ambulance' a big plastic tub with a blanket and put him inside so I can keep an eye on him. Its very warm right now so I dont think he needs a heat source. He's got food and water but I dont expect him to be interested yet. He didnt even mind me holding him he was so frightened. I wanted to bring in his friend Que (who was utterly hysterical) but then I would have to bring Stormy too and I just dont have enough room. Im just restraining myself right now because I know he just needs some quiet time to get through the shock and I will fuss over him too much if I go in there.
