My 2 jumbo white pekin ducks usually run around our back yard and today something attacked them with in a 30 min frame of our dogs being inside. I'm assuming it was a coyote because of the damage and how large the wounds are! They were attacked pretty badly, I will attach pictures. I have them put away in their coop that I usually lock them in at night with the heating lamp which I hope will keep them warm enough through the night. It feels pretty cold in there even with the heat lamp on. At 8:30 pm it was already 35 degrees outside. I tried to get them so they could be in a warmer place for the night and they did not want to come out of their coop so I left them in there. I put food and water with vitamins, electrolytes, and antibiotics in it inside their coop. They are walking, the bleeding looks like it has stopped on one with the lesser injuries, the one with more injuries im not so sure that the bleeding has stopped. I believe they are eating/drinking a little bit, I found each one of them by their bowls at least once when I check on them.

This one's neck looks pretty severed on the other side, all of the feathers are gone for sure but you cant see it in this picture.

Any other suggestions on what to do? Should I try to bring them in tomorrow so they are in a warmer place?
