This morning, when I let the ducks out to go free range/tromp down to the pond, I noticed one was a bit of a straggler. I didn't think much of it, since she didn't appear hurt at all, just hanging back. Well, as the day progressed, she never joined the group of ducks. I'd never seen this before. Usually they are all ultra close to each other. In fact, when she tried a few times to get back with the others, she was chased away.
What is going on here? Do I have a bully? Did she commit some ducky atrocity and is now exiled? They even got pushy with her when I was putting them all back in the pen. I did see a drake attempting to mate with another girl duck, today. I have three drakes, three girls. In time those drakes will become dinner, like the other six I've already butchered (yea, out of twelve ducks hatched, nine were boys).
