Hello everyone, I am a new subscriber to BYC but have been using the website for over a year and you all have been an excellent source of help since I started raising chickens and ducks. This past week, a coyote dug it's way into our coop and killed 2 of our hens and 1 of our Pekin ducks before we were able to get rid of it. Since then, our remaining Pekin has laid only one egg. Both ducks were great layers and laid 2 eggs daily without fail until now. Is it possible that she is traumatized by the coyote and the loss of the other duck? Do you think she will start laying again? She has also stopped swimming in her pool that they loved to swim in daily and has been very quiet. Thanks for any advice you can give.
