Thanks everyone. She’s a quirky little thing. She’s settling in well here. She’s made an odd group of friends: a bantam rooster, our Muscovy patriarch, and a teenage drake Muscovy who has big stupid doofus syndrome. Whenever she gets in a yelling match with a ramdom duck or chicken, one of these boys will rush to her defence. Especially the bantam rooster... it’s so bizarre and funny and adorable watching him. He’s like a chihuahua taking on a Great Dane when he gets all protective.
Our little drake friend at the lake is doing pretty poorly, I’m sad to say. He was attacked on his neck and has lost feathers. It looks very sore and swollen and he’s having trouble eating. We take him food every day and he is getting weaker, but I think he may pass away from his injuries before we can actually catch him.
