Broken hearted tonight we lost our one duck

[Miss Lydia]

Of course they miss the sister, it takes time for them to adjust, But they will. Just Be patient with them and yourself. Try slowly herding them in when time to go to bed. Arms open to guide.

Just wanted to update everyone
The vet called this morning to give me the autopsy report
My little girl ate a penny and this caused heavy metal / zinc poisoning. I myself have not had pennies for 10 years but ducks like to dig in the ground. Unfortunately We had no way of knowing it was there and no way of preventing it
Although I’m happy it’s not a disease that could have passed onto my other ducks I’m still devastated that she somehow found a penny and ate it.

 

[Miss Lydia]

I'm so sorry, at least you have closure now, and knowing it's not a disease puts your mind at ease.
Thanks for letting us know. How's everyone doing?

I am so sorry losing a animal is hard I bet her flock misses her remember shes running free and has all the duck friends she needs I am so sorry losing a duck is like losing a best friend lots of people do not understand that loosing a duck is worse than loosing a dog when we lost my daughters faverite duck it was more sad than loosing her cat nemo I love ducks and its always sad to loose a best friend

So sorry to hear about your duck. I lost a duck to bumblefoot caused by a chunk of scrap metal left on the property. It is hard to lose them that way. I hope the rest of your flock is doing well.

I have a female Pekin and a drake khaki Campbell.
In the spring I will be adding a female blue Swedish to my flock as well as 1-2 more females from my two ducks
My girl gives an egg everyday she is a great layer. Before we lost her sister they were both giving an egg. The odd time we were getting 3 eggs so one of them was dropping 2
