Help! I think my female Rouen is in love with one of my dogs! She follows her around everywhere and lays her body and head low to the ground whenever the poor unsuspecting dog is near. She was a rescue who had been struck by a car. Another duck she was with didn't make it. Don't know if was a male or not because it was dark and heavy traffic when I found her stunned in the middle of the highway.
The other problem is she's very bossy and aggressive with my smaller other dogs and cats. She puts her head down and runs them all over the place. She pecks them if they don't move fast enough. However she isn't human aggressive at all. Very sweet once you catch her lol. We got her a duckling as a companion and at first she was aggressive towards her, but has since accepted her and quacks loudly when I seperate them. Both forage outside during the day together and sleep in my bathroom at night in diapers. My question is will she always stalk my dog and lie down invitingly or am I gonna have to buy a drake in the spring? I had hoped that the female duckling would be companion enough, but now I'm not so sure.
Confused,
Cyndi
