Pekin Duck Club!

@Amiga

I read the posts by haunted55 so I soaked it a few hours ago and applied iodine. Now wait several days, soak till soft and remove? Hmmm, that seems simple and a lot better than performing surgery. Thank goodness! Hope it works if not I'll continue and try try again...
 
@jducour u were right, I clicked the @ where u said it would be. Did it work?

Yay! I win the internet!

That took a lot of time to do. Totally worth it.

We are about to get 2 pekin Ducks on Sunday, so hard to find them where I am so we are traveling a couple hours to get them. We already have 2 female Muscovys (and a hen who believes she's a duck) and hope these 2 pekins fit in with them.

@duckies1230 if you have the time you can soak and reapply the iodine every three days till the scab comes off easily when you get under it with your finger nail. I usually do it every other day or every third day. But so far i have only had to treat a chicken.

I don't think it would hurt at all to treat every 3rd day do you @Amiga ? Haunted was busy and didn't get around to it.

@anonamouse Congratulations and Welcome.. main thing is to introduce slowly over several days so the new comers and the resident ducks get to know each other through fencing. I use plastic poultry fencing inside their fenced area that way no one can pick on the other it usually only takes 3-5 days before everyone has had a chance to get to know each other, I used a large dog crate inside their duck coop so they could all sleep together but no picking.

So I was begging for a few females for my drake.
Well, I got some! I was so excited! We drove 2 hours there and 2 hours back on Wed night.
The first thing that happened, the ladies jumped into the pool. It was so cute.
The second thing that happened, my drake, Peck, jumped onto on of the girls and held her down on the water to breed.
I chased him off her and we promptly emptied the pool.
The next day we woke up to a very bloody and de-feathered little girl. He does not like the other female. He really has taken a liking to the Samantha.
So we separated them. We put Peck and Emma in with the chickens and we put Samantha in with the peacocks and turkeys.
Samantha looked good this afternoon so I put her in with the Peck and Emma and it has been about 4 hours. I went out and she is even bloodier and even more defeathered!
So I brought her in the house. She is in my bathtub with a blanket food and water.

Is he going to kill poor Samantha? What should I be doing?
