Today was a really hard day for me. I lost my young Muscovy duck to my neighbors dogs. It was no one’s fault but it was extremely windy today and she got spooked and even though her wing was clipped she caught the wind and flew over. It was extremely unexpected and I’m trying to cope
My main concern is my disabled duck who my Muscovy was originally for. I don’t think I’m ready for a new duck anytime soon but I also only ever had two ducks because of zoning laws I can’t keep more than 6 poultry on my property. Now my duck is practically alone and I’m not sure what to do while I take a period to heal and find another duck that will suit him as a mate. How can I keep him happy during this time? Any advice will help. I have a very realistic duck stuffed animal from when his brother died and I stuffed it with his brothers feathers for my own healing and I’ve been told to give it to him but im not sure if it’ll “freak him out” that this duck is just standing around and not moving. Anyways thank you to anyone who gives me advice right now I really need it, it breaks my heart that he lost another friend
