Hi!
An unfortunate event occurred this evening and I am hoping someone can help with what I can watch for.
One of our “babies” (9 weeks tomorrow) found herself in the adult side of our run. This is a first time occurrence and I have no idea how she managed it. We have already taken steps to avoid this happening again.
Our drake traumatized her. I am unsure what all happened. She has some ruffled feathers on her back and the back of her neck is pretty rough looking. Aside from that she seems to be physically ok. She is eating, drinking, went for a swim, forging… all things ducky! She’s not quite herself though (as expected).
I have heard drakes will try to mount females before they are mature and that it can cause severe damage and/or death. I am unsure if he tried, or if he was just attacking her, but I’d like to know if there is anything I can watch for to know if something is wrong that we cannot see.
My poor Hoglet.
