My muscovies were attacked by a dog a couple of nights ago, and sadly, there were losses. The survivors are all injured to some extent, and include one drake. He is now the most active, and is about the age where I might expect him to start mating. Is there much of a risk that he may mate with the females before they are well enough? On the other hand, would keeping the survivors together reduce their stress and improve their chances?
The surviving birds are now walking, eating and drinking, but they are far from their usual effervescent selves.
