    Limping duck with ruffled feathers

    My 2 year old male Pekin has always walked with a limp but he is limping worse now. Also the feathers on his neck and head look ruffled and like their sticking up or coming out. Any ideas?

    What predator can do this?

    Come to find out....it is a mink. Christmas night we left their door open for them to go in their gated yard area. The next day we went to get rat traps. Came home and my favorite little duck buddy who was also the most dominant was dead. It was pulled under the duck house. We’ve put traps out...

    There were no teeth marks. I read minks drink blood. Would you be able to see teeth marks? There was just one small hole at the base of the neck.

    Reintegrating duckling

    Hoping someone can help....Our female Pekin hatched an egg. Less than a week after hatching the duckling wouldn't put any pressure on its leg so we moved it in to the house to heal. The duckling is ready to go back out now with mama after a few days but mama ran from the duckling last night...
