I've got 11 runners and had an issue with all the neck feathers being ripped out of all the older girls necks. So, as @Miss Lydia said, I figured it was my drake doing all the damage so I put him by himself for a few weeks and then noticed that the girls were mounting each other in the pool and ripping the neck feathers out.

I felt terrible blaming the little drake for all the damage because he is just so cute and sweet and is protective of the girls. So I put them all back together until I had to introduce the 4 babies into the flock. I've got 2 pens and 2 runs that can be separated. It was trial and error on who to put with who but I've finally got a good combination. One day last week I left the gate between the 2 runs open by accident and they all got mixed up and it was complete chaos. My 3 older girls are all fawn/white and I have a hard time telling them apart and it was just a mess until I figured it out and got everyone back in the right run. Then it was like a complete calm fell over the whole yard.

You just need to find who the best would be to put with your little sick one for now. Trial and error but keep an eye on them.

Thank you so much for the response! I wish I had separate runs and all to keep mine separated better. Unfortunately, now I'm having to look at rehoming a few of my ducks to accommodate Agnes.

I am sorry to hear this. But sometimes we have to make tough decisions for the safety of the rest. How’s Agnes doing?

 

[AmberLittlejohn]

She's doing well! Pretty much completely healed now

That’s awesome! How’s the eye you think there is any sight? And how are you?getting close to count down or is that lock down

We think she can see some light. But not a ton because she is startled if we approach from that side. She's also super jumpy now. I'm doing fine! Hoping for baby to come soon. I've been having regular contractions since 4pm yesterday but nothing severe enough to head to the hospital. Pray I get some progression!!!
