Seperated ducks

[Jessica89]

Hey guys!

So we have a huge coop and Hattie has been in a crate ( which fits in the coop) at night time to rest her foot.

The other female and two other drakes have the rest of the coop.

This morning. I let them out and noticed a bald spot on the top of Sybils head.

I have used the crate and a big piece of wood to seperate the coop in half.. females in one half , Drakes in the other..
They are all quacking for each other and the Drakes arnt happy but I don't want the girls to get hurt any more! Is this a good idea?

Thanks

Jessica

I think you did the right thing, Jessica. Sybil's little life depends on you watching out for her. Let them be a little cranky. Tough love.

Exactly.. I think it worked quite well.. She seemed well rested when I opened the coop this morning. She is with Roy now , waddling around the garden.

Roy doesn't over mate her but Percy does!
