help!
last night we locked our 2 ducks 2 ducklings and 2 chicks up in their run (it was the ducklings and chicks second night they’ve slept outside and they’re about 7 weeks old.
this morning i came to let them out for the day (they free range) and when i looked in the run i was devastated. i saw one of my big ducks with blood all over her wing, the other big duck was fine, a very frightened duckling with a few wounds around her wings, a dead chick on the ground, and the other duckling and chickens were missing. there was a hole under the bar in the front of their run that (we suspect a raccoon) must’ve gotten in.
does anyone have any advice on predator proofing as well as care for the wounds?
