Today I went out to feed my chickens and ducks their supper. I seen there was a little blood by the water jug outside (they're all free ranged). When I looked around I didn't see anything. So I went inside the hen house that both my chickens and ducks share. I found one of my female ducks dead. She hadn't been dead long because no rigger had set in. I'm trying to figure out what or who had killed her. I found she was still intact except for a hole in her gut.
One thing I found strange is that when one of my roosters came into the room the ducks all came running at me. They never do this. They don't show fear with any of the other roosters either and the chicken hens were as calm as can be. Is it possible that the rooster the others seen and came running to me was the attacker?
I have removed him from the flock just in case. Anyone have any thoughts on this?
