Animal attacked my Rouen...not sure what to do.

They know she isn’t 100percent so they take advantage. Sad but true in the wild she have been long dead

Males view me as competition.

She will never let herself get 100% until she decides to rest while in care. I am thinking about taking her with the 2 docile hens. And sticking them back in the pen.

My drake sees my dh as competition too.

That sounds like a good idea. I try to always put someone who is laid back in with an injured one. They are a lot more happy that way.

I had my drake run after my cayuga ducklings and chomp on their blood feathers this week. It screamed and I was already running. I honestly smacked him. I know I didn’t hurt him but it pissed me off.

He’s now in jail. My females from different “flocks” are decent to each other if I remove my drake. How feasible would it be to put the drakes up for a few days? And let the ladies have some freedom?

Things are calming down. Heat of day and all.

I'm trying to figure out what I can do on no budget.

The drakes big and strong, im gonna need reinforcing.

Easiest it to add a friend in with her. If I have to bring her in, I'll get her a friend.

I just started hissing and imitating a dominant male. They drakes are bowing and backing off. They are now letting her forage with them.

Of course they all left after a few more minutes while typing and a female friend stayed behind, but they allowed her to stay. They would not let her near the shore all day.

Looks like I have a new mate. Sheesh.

You'd think they could leave her be right?

No! Lol, this whole day has been comical.

I would agree with you. If you have to build something new just for that, it’s not worth the trouble.
