We have 2 Khaki Campbells and 9 chickens.
A goshawk attacked the female duck. I heard frantic quacking outside and when I opened the door, the hawk had the female duck pinned down. I rush toward it so it let go of the female and as it was flying away, it went in for another chicken.
Our flock dispersed and all I could manage to find was the male duck who quickly went inside our house.
It took us a while to recover all of them, finding the female duck and chicken (both that were attacked) last. We ended up finding them in various places in our house. Catatonic.
So anyway, we checked for punctures or wounds and haven't found any but the female duck is moving quite slow...
Was wondering if anyone had any advice to help our birds in recovering from the attack.
