Stressed duck?

[blayt90]

How do you tell if a duck is being stressed?

 

[Skipper81]

I know pacing and panting are things I've seen but I bet there is alot more signs of stress than than.

Depends on the situation?...

I have one female separated from the other ducks and wanted to know what signs to look for to see if she is stressed

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is she sick? or is this the one your trying to get to go broody? When I had to separate one of my muscovies from the rest because she was picking on others she would pace in front of the screen door and just not lay down at all. Wanted out real bad.

If she calls and tries to get back to them..Stops eating.

I have her separated to try and see if she will go broody. As of right now she is staying in her house like she is fine with it. Just don’t want to get her to stressed and wanted to know what to look for.

If she appears content?..Then she is...

 

[Miss Lydia]

Is she laying on her eggs? as long as she is acting fine just sitting on her eggs then she much be content.

She called a few times the first day but after that she has been staying in the house I have for her with her eggs.
