A week or so ago, I posted about 3 of my ducks getting hit by a truck. 1 survived, but needed care. I had her penned up while we were nursing her back. The rest of my flock seemed in shock from the event and stayed away from her until about 5 days ago. They started laying next to the fence where she was, quacking loudly to eachother. She seemed to be ready to join the flock. I released her, at night they all sleep in their house together. But for the last 2 days my drake keeps trying to alienate her from the flock. He chases her away constantly. He is always just plain chasing after her. It seems as though she is not up to taking him on, and runs away from him. It makes me sad to see this! If he wasn't so handsome, he'd be in big trouble right now. He is the only male I have. Does anyone know how long the adjustment back into the flock may take?
