As long as that hen doesn't do it again, I think she'll heal just fine. It was just bizarre, I have never had that aggressive of a response happen from a hen towards any other bird before. I really don't know what triggered her like that. The duckling has her legs back under her though, amd is...
No, chicken hen, but not the mama hen. My ducklings currently are all raised by chickens. I meant that mama hen was three feet away during the attack and only got upset when I came into the picture, she didn't seem to even hear her baby screaming
Considering how she looked when I scooped her up...
Had a hen hellbent on killing a preteen duckling this morning. Poor thing was already rather stunned when I snatched her up, and was bleeding a lot from her eyes and neck. Had to run to work, hoping she's still okayish when I get home. Mama apparently only cares about me interacting with her...
The moving enclosures is odd, and hens don't really move chicks like that. But I've had plenty of hens steal chicks, usually from other hens. Keep an eye on them, but odds are they'll wind up okay
I'm about halfway there. Really think I'll get the rest tomorrow though since it's the weekend.
I'll be setting up an online shop hopefully soon though if you'll want to cut out the work and just purchase painted ones
That angel was very popular today. She ended up selling, which I'm both glad and sad about.
Some blank models came from my local game store, others I bought blank from sellers on etsy

My sale started today.
That's why I said most likely. I have a 2:2 ratio that works with one flock and another that is a 14:4.5 (one drake is disabled enough I don't think he can breed if he even managed to catch a female) that doesn't. Both groups free range all day every day.
