we put a baby fence up all day testerday and the females were soooo releived. They literally hugged us. By evening though with predators we have to coop them but thankfully my hand husbanf whipped up a wall frame that slides in the coop.,He stapled stiff 1/4 inch hardware wire cloth all over the wall frame. So, they can see each other but no touch. Late last night my husband went to check on them and the large drake was trying to bite tgrough thay wire?! Which is impossible. My husband turned on the spot lights at the coop so yhe drake coukd see the wall and he retreated to lay down. I guess I need to find a community board to rehome a drake? Pretty sure if we released him on our lake he woukf just come home?
He may come back. The more prevalent concern is releasing domesticated ducks into the wild is illegal as it could negatively interfere with the native species gene pool. A great portion of the released birds perish as well.
Sounds like your on the right track with the injuries, but I wanted to comment on this part of your post.
Oh goodness! I had no idea!! THANK you!! Yes, we will def look to rehome him!
No not rude at all! Thank you for the help so much!!
