    Broken Blood Vessel in Duckling's Eye?

    I just noticed this today when I took my little guys out for a walk. The little Cayuga was tripping and would not open his eye. When he finally did, I noticed how red his iris was.

    Duck attacked by racoon! Help?

    Tonight my four American Pekins were attacked by a family of racoons. This is the second time this has happened, and we finally caught the little monsters in the act and took care of them. However, we lost one of our males, and our other male had his eye gouged out. It's just hanging there and...
