Injured Ducks, looks bad! :(

I sure hope so! We're going to isolate him during the day and let him out at night for a while so the injured ones (Rosemary and Pearl) can heal up without someone hurting them further.

I am not sure I understand letting him out at night . . . that doesn't sound safe for a duck. But I am tired, so please bear with me.

I only mean letting him out of the coop. There's a pen surrounding the coop that's 13x13 feet, all secured so nothing can get in, even have chicken wire across the top. The one duck has been "cooped up" in the coop (pun intended) during the day and we let him rejoin the other 3 at night in the enclosure.

This is the coop and the pen around it. My explaining sounds confusing so a picture should help clarify!

Thanks! As I wrote, I am rather tired - and I confess that especially when I am tired, I can forget what people's setups look like.

No problem I appreciate all the advice and help you've all given so far! It *is* late, at least on the east coast.

Update! My babies are doing much better. Isolating the perpetrator seems to have taught him his lesson (KNOCK ON WOOD!!). Injuries are dry, no maggots. Thank you for all your advice!

This is Squishy, our uninjured, non-violent duck

Rosemary was the first to be injured, you can see where the dirt clung to the bacitricin I put on her.
This is Pearl, injured duck #2

And my beautiful, stupid, formerly-violent Buster. lol!

Great report, thanks for the news!
