Earlier today I picked up a hen mallard for my current hen mallard bubbles so she had a friend. I bought her from the same person i got bubbles and i was told she is around 8 weeks old. When I got home I opened the crate I used to transport her and she started quaking and running away. I tried to catch her for over an hour because I knew if I left her alone she would run away. I managed to get her into the garage after she nearly flew across the street. Then she got stuck under my refrigerator and it took me and my family another hour+ to get her out. Then we put her in bubbles cage and let her be for a few hours. I recently got her out to take a bath and she was going crazy as I was trying to get her out of the cage. I got her in the bath and every time I would move she would go nuts quacking a diving under water. Then I wrapped her in a blanket and I'm currently holding her. No matter what I do or if I say anything or stand up she will not move a muscle. It looks like she's frozen. Her pupils are gigantic also. If I set her on the ground she immediately starts quacking loud and running. She's obviously in shock and scared, but should I return her and get a younger one, or give her time? Also I put her with bubbles and they were both drinking and the new duck started attacking her. What should I do?
