I just found my female duck dead this afternoon.. My runner drake was putting his head under her trying to get her up and laying with her. They have been hatch mates and eventually breeding mates... She was suppose to hatch out next spring and be a new mother. My drake was extremely close to her and is extremely anxious without her, calling around the pen and looking for her. I live in winder, ga about 30 minutes from Athens. Is there anyone who has a female duck, breed does not matter. He just looks so pitiful
