She is doing well, we are still keeping her separated when we are not home. She gets less nervous every day and really likes pets and affection. We are taking iit very slow to avoid any other issues
I will get some blue kote for sure! She got thru the night just fine in her rubber made tote to segregate her from the others. I kept her in the hut by herself again today so she could recover a bit more. Her neck is already looking much better and any signs of bleeding are gone. She is going...
I haven't put anything on her wounds, what would your recommend? I checked her feathers a little bit ago and all of the blood looks old, nothing fresh. The exposed skin on her neck seems pretty dry. I put her in the duck hut with the heat light on because this morning she was shaking (it was...

That is great advice thank you so much! We are going to put a separate box in the pen for the new duck at night. Right now we have her separated with a heat light so she can relax and recover a bit. We are new to ducks and did not realize our Pekins could be so aggressive. We actually...
Ducks are wonderful! And super easy once they are grown and they have a good set up. It is some work getting to that point but once they have a good pen, water, and drainage (we had to dig out a trench under their pool to keep a swamp out of the back yard) they are no problem at all. The...
