A Barred owl got inside our pen and killed my adult buff duck at dusk- not quite dark yet. There was a small area that was uncovered yet the owl got in there. Puncture wounds to my ducks neck
Owl wouldn’t let go was trying to fly off with duck

A barred owl just attacked and killed my adult buff duck in our pen this evening at dusk. Ducks go in their house when it starts to get dark and there are plenty of places to hide and take shelter. Part of the roof on the pen was off due to snow breaking it.. 1/4th we hadn’t repaired it yet. We...
This happens with one of my Pekin Drakes..
I am wondering the same thing. His penis flies and dangles our every time he sharts and then retracts back in. I hope that it stays in!
I hope this doesn’t lead to future prolapse.
Every time my 5 month old Pekin drake poops, his genitals dangle out. When I had my other Pekin drake this didn’t happen. Is this ok? The slowly make their way back in.. just wondering if it some kind of wiener prolapse.
