Lonely duck

[Mariakissinger132]

So all my other ducks are being mean to her and now she is lonely and she won’t go in the pond by herself and I don’t know what to do and I really need help and I cant get another duck and I think the others are boys and they are being mean to her and I really need help

Ok, how many other ducks do you have? How old are they and what are their sexes? What is your run set up like?

I have 5 ducks, they are 4-5 months old and the ones that are picking on her are all males well we are sure 3 are males not sure about the other one and she doesn’t seem to really be picking in her but she stays with the males and the one being picked on is a female and I put pics of what there coop looks like and they free range all day from 6 am to 8 pm

I am also keeping her as in the one that’s being picked on in a coop with my bunny as of yesterday Because they just started this about 2 days ago I I wasn’t sure if I could leave her with them but I am also not sure if it’s ok to leave her with the bunny

I don't know about the bunny thing but I do know that you've got to separate her from the ducks that are picking on her or she could get hurt or even worse. You've got lots of fencing so put some up in that same run to make a see but no touch zone for her.

Well what do I do because she is now very lonely and I want her to be able to go out and swim and go out but I’m not sure

Well, first of all, you can't keep 3-4 males with 1 duck. They will over mate her and end up killing her so you're going to have to make some decisions.

Either get rid of 2- 3 of the males or get a ton more females!

Donna has given you sound advice, but I want to mention that a rocky/bare dirt pen is going to cause Bumblefoot, especially with your Pekins, so you better check them tonight.

Ok but what do I do so she is not so lonely if I get rid of 3 males
