Hawk grabbed call duck! Help needed!

[FunnyfarmMidwest]

I came outside and saw my white call duck flying after a hawk, I quick ran and got him then frantically ran to locate everyone! I quickly noticed that my black bibbed Splash was gone! I ran out into the weeds but couldn’t locate him. After a while of searching I found him! He’s got a bad eye injury that looks like it might be to his third eyelid. He also had blood on his chest, which upon inspection turned out to be a superficial peck wound on the outside of his chest. It does not appear to go through. I cleaned him, applied Vetericyn to the wound and am wondering if I should put Terramycin on his eye. What else should I do? I separated him inside, and Provided electrolyte water, he ate a little bit and pooped normally I have attached a picture of his poop. I will later trim the feathers away from his chest to see how bad that is and I will continue to monitor him. He Appears stable as of now he walked around clean his chest a little bit and flapped his wings. I cannot visit a vet. Any advice? @Isaac 0 @Miss Lydia @casportpony @Pyxis

Will he recover alright?

I would put Terramycin on his eye. Hawks injure/kill as much by impact as by puncturing the body. If he did not get hit hard, and if he is not punctured/internally injured, he should be okay. Next problem is that the hawk will return now that it has found a food source. Be on the lookout. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice. He does have one puncture wound to the chest but as far as I can tell it is not too deep. I will trim the feathers later and post a picture. It is not bleeding very bad. I have put everyone in their houses. My white call also sustained an injury to the bill pbut he seems alright.

Put big nets over top of something to help protect them

They are free range. It happened in the open. I put them in a kennel with a lid now. I put a fly net overtop of his kennel right now to keep the flies off him.

That will work for now. I would get some outside turrent guns that make noise when the hawks come works really good I have 5

I gave him his girlfriend and he seems much happier. They are both drinking the electrolyte water, eating treats and wandering around.
