I have (did have) a male and female duck approx 4yrs old who have lived with us free range (shut in at night) all their life.
2 weeks ago they got attacked in their field by what we think is either a weasel or stout-they both survived but had cuts etc (female was worse than the male) on them - we then kept them under surveillance so they where safe whilst out. Last weekend we shut them seecurley in again and when we came back the weasel had killed or male duck but hadnt touched the female. We have now move her into our horse wagon which the weasel cant get into but she seems very sedate and doesnt like to do much-she comes out in the field with us but tends to just wander round a bit then stop- shes eating a little bit of corn but just doesn't seem to be bouncing back .
Any advice on what to do? Or do they just take time to recover?
