One mean duck!

[Duckduckchicken32]

Our male Khaki Campbell is having problems with his behavior. He is injuring our other Indian Runner male. The other two drakes are following his lead, and is gaining up on the Indian runner. Rehoming is an option, but I just hoped that there is something else we can do.

Drake jail for the 3 bullies before they kill your runner drake. Or like you said rehoming. What part of the country are you in?

I had a khaki Campbell drake that was a bit like that. He seriously stressed out my other drake and he picked up a bit of his bad habits. We rehomed the kahki Campbell drake and the crazy eyes left from our other drake. Our other went back to more of his normal self over time. The flock was a lot happier with the khaki Campbell seperated and much happier when he was rehomed.

We couldn't permanently seperate him at the time, but some drakes just don't work out.

We are in New York. I will try the bully jail. We have the runner separated, and all of his missing feathers are starting to grow back in.Thanks!

For the bully jail do I put all of the mean drakes in one pen? Or do I put them in different pens?

 

[Miss Lydia]

You can try them together it may work, they may start in on another one you'll just have to see how it goes.

Thank you for all of your help!

 

[Miss Lydia]

Be sure to let us know how it goes.

The boys are in the bully pen after many tries of catching them! the Indian runner is also super happy to be back with his friends.

I have a question about the bully pen. Are they supposed to stay inside the pen in the garage, or can we bring the pen outside for a little while away from the other ducks to get some sun? The Indian Runner also has something going on with his eyes too. I was wondering if it is foamy eye or something else? He is okay other wise and is not coughing or sneezing. We are putting saline solution on it, but the crustiness is stuck to the skin.
