Has anyone ever had a duckling start bleeding when shut up in the coop at night? She only bleeds when in the coop. It appears to be from her nare and possibly mouth, and isn’t a huge amount, just enough to leave 10-15 red stained pine shavings scattered among the others on the floor. I have felt by hand all the walls and boards to make sure there is nothing sharp she could be getting caught on. She doesn’t appear sick, is bright eyed and curious, and still drinks and comes to eat food from my hand. This is the second night in a row that I have found blood, and I’m going a little crazy trying to figure out what is going on!
Any suggestions?
