The Drake is in solitary (2021/06/07)

2021/06/07

Yesterday we put the five-week-olds out. They are too big for what we use for a brooder. We couldn't be there every minute so our drake attacked one (we think the victim is a male) and was put into solitary confinement. The victim suffered head wounds and his back is pretty well plucked. You can see him on the right in the video. We treated him as best we could but I worried we might lose him to shock.

This morning though everybody was still with us. The teenagers are enjoying the pool. The drake is still in solitary. He spent the night there. He's going to freezer camp if he attacks again.
