Hi again, seems like I'm here with something new every week..
But I'm pretty sure Buzzard (my drake) killed his son Jellyfish.
After weeks of doing see but no touch and watching them interact with each other, I thought it was finally time for them to all be together since Buzzard wasn't really attacking them anymore.
At first I was thinking maybe it was because it was super hot (its around 90°F) but one of the ducklings, Fawn, was swimming in the pool and he wasn't panting at all and he seemed fine (plus I felt their feet and they weren't really hot at all, just a little warm).
Two other things that make me think it is Buzzard that killed him are
1. Jellyfish's feathers were ruffled like a duck was holding onto him (I'm not sure how to explain it but yknow how ducks fight and when they are done their feathers are usually messed up a bit, he looked like that)
2. Buzzard is pretty straight up evil if I'm being honest, he used to be sweet when he was younger but I don't think hes gonna go back to being that way, when he gets my hands or arms, it's really hard to get him off (plus he was chasing the other babies when I went to check on them)
Maybe it could've been how hot it was, but I really can't see it..
I don't want to risk another baby dying so I'm locking Buzzard up unless I'm down there to watch them since I can't trust him. If it turns out it is him, I'm most likely gonna rehome him. I don't really want to because someone will most likely eat him but I don't want him killing any of the other ducklings and I don't have enough money to build a separate enclosure for him and Newt to be in.
So I'm not sure what to do, if anyone can help me please do, I really don't know what to do.
