We just recently adopted a 10mo old male Pekin and he ‘violated’ our sweet little 6mo female Muscovy as far as we know for the first time yesterday, twice, in a kiddie pool, within a 15 minute span. We knew of course this would probably happen and when it did romance wouldn’t be involved, and it is Spring and he’s young and full of hormones. These are our pets and our only two. My concern is that after the second ‘incident’ she seemed stunned and just kind of floating, unblinking, and even allowed me to pick her up and hold her for a couple of minutes which is very unlike her. She snapped out of it, seems fine and still not at all afraid of him. In fact, this morning was waiting for him outside his kennel, squawking for him to be let out. My question is is it normal for her to be stunned/dazed after mating or is this something we should be concerned about and keep them separated until spring passes (I’m in Florida so am hoping it WILL pass)?
