Duck doesn’t look okay

[FarmInProgress]

Hello, I have a female duck who is just not looking the best. We had to get rid of a drake that was her mate because he kept picking on our other ducks. Her is closed and her beak is super pale and she isn’t following the rest of the ducks like she used to....is she depressed? Is she sick? What can I do to help the poor girl? Any advice would be appreciated!

Can we get a better picture of her ?looks like she’s missing neck feathers could this be from over mating? How long has her drake been gone and how are the other ducks treating her?

 

[FarmInProgress]

Yes she was being over bred I am pretty sure, that is one of the reasons we got rid of him because we had two drakes. The other ducks aren’t bothering her...they go on land and sleep by her

 

[Miss Lydia]

So it was recent the other drake left?If she was really bonded to him it may take her some time to get over that loss. Then again she maybe sick. Can you pen her up so you can check her poop and get pictures of it and monitor her eating? Also you could add some poultry vitamins to her drinking water for a boost.

And the drake has been gone for almost a week now

They drink out of there pond, and we really don’t have anywhere to put her, unless her coop would work..

Aww she looks so sad

 

[FarmInProgress]

Oh and we have two goslings that are 8 weeks old I believe....and they kinda pick on the ducks every once in a while

About the only way your going to be able to tell if she’s sick is to put her where you can monitor her eating drinking pooping.
