Sigh, sorry best way i can start this.... greatly concerned my few year old call duck female is completely blind. She was brutally attacked by a coon , i managed to save three birds but one later on died, the other one is recovering well but wants noting to do with her(i am currently caging both in my house for care)
I have had(and still do) dealt with the loss of an eye, those birds recovered well and returned to the flocks. However IF their is sight left in her remaining eye it is minimal at best.
How do i care for this bird? They are flock animals i don't want her alone but what do you do? I do still own some calls but they are my other breeding males(penned separate) and another trio(also penned elsewhere) that are new blood from last year, she doesn't really know any of these birds. Her flock is dead. (this was my female pen)
In a odd twist however i do have her babies from the previous year(also penned elsewhere) but would she recall them? all the birds are in the same in general area but not housed side by side so not near the larger pen she was kept in.
Basically looking for advice and how to care, house and just in general handle this, i feel so badly for her .
