Velveeta (our Welsh Harlequin duck hen) has injured her foot. I have examined her, but cannot see an external cause. All I know is that she is limping quite badly. To make sure she does not try to move around on it too much, and to make sure she cannot be harassed by the male ducks, I have placed her in isolation. As you can see by the photo above, the area she is in allows her to see out (and therefore see the other ducks) so that she will not be too lonely while she recovers. Hopefully that will not take too long.
This is Bleu. He's never heard of personal space, but he'll take some of yours if you're offering (or even if you're not). |
