My understanding is that the Pekin is helping the injured duck eat bread. He holds the food in his own mouth a moment, then offers it to the injured one. Letting him actually eat out of his mouth.
 
I know most would have ended the duck's life (he's fine for meat!), but he's eating fish out of the water, still tries (and after two weeks of keeping it up, I assume succeeding) to eat from the grass, and everyone is eating feed soup twice daily. He isn't hand (or tube!) fed, and can probably get along without the feed soup. Come "winter" down there, I expect he will be fine with the lack of minnows. He's one lucky duck!
 
Not very happy today. Went out to the garden/run and as I was bending over picking something up Johnny, our rooster, jumped on my backside. I yelled and stood up really fast. I turned around and he came at me from the front side not once, but twice. He's never done his before and we are always in around the chickens. I'm not sure if it will be a one time thing or why he even did it. Unfortunately, we decided in the beginning that if we had a chicken attack anyone it was gone. I could just imagine my girls if they would have been out there and he done that to them. They wouldn't ever go around the chickens again.

I have two silver apple yard males that are a year old. They are small that I either need to get rid of or I have to kill so if anyone is interested let me know. They are picking on my male khaki and I paid more for him then I did for the two appleyards combined so they gots to go.
 
Silly question. I have a silkie that appears to be going through a terrible molt. Ive increased her protein and placed a saddle on her since its been cold at night. However other hens are picking at her exposed pin feathers. Can i put blue coat on her?bringing her inside is not an option. Hubby forbids it

Blu-kot or Pick-no-More would both work. I always feel sorry for the birds having a hard molt.

I've never had a one-time attacker. Sorry, but you were right when you made the no tolerance rule. :hugs
