We have 2 cayuga ducks (one make one female) and a few hens.
This afternoon, I let our hens out to free range, and when I went to put them away, the wyandotte was just frozen still. I went over to her and she didn't flinch at all when i approached. Her eyes open and standing, though wings slightly slack and tell not totally erect. I worry that when I wasn't looking, it's possible one of the ducks harassed her. But this happens every once in a while and usually it doesn't end like this!
I put her in the coop, but she wont even perch, she is just sitting in the corner.
Could she be in shock. It was all of a sudden that her behavior changes. She has been perfectly healthy.
I know drakes can be aggressive, could it be something related?
Any advice on how to snap her out of it, or care for her in the meantime would be super appreciated.
-thanks so much!
