    R.I.P Ducky...

    I just got home today, from staying with some relatives. When I got home, my mom told me that one of my ducks has passed on to the rainbow bridge. Unfortunalty, he was killed, in a slow death. The other two ducks killed him. I don't want to give you a gross picture, but my grandpa said that the other ducks plucked his feathers on his neck and picked at him until they were down to his vertibra. Not exactly sure if they did all this in one day, because my grandpa was supposed to be watching all the animals while we were gone. I'm not blaming him though. Rest in peace little guy.. I hope you had a good life while you were here!

    I'm so sorry about your duck.
    He certainly was a beauty!
    Some animals just do things that are a bit unexplainable.

    I am so sorry about your duck! I remember a while back you posted pictures of him, didn't you? I'm so sorry.

    Do you know what might have caused this? Ducks get into fights sometimes, but I've never heard of a duck killing another one. I know how bad it hurts to lose a duck. One of my favorite ducks, Topaz, got killed by a dog. It was so horrible...

    Was the duck already sick?? Sometimes animals will pick at sickly animals. This is so shocking! I'm so sorry....if you find out why they did this please tell us. Make sure the other ducks you have left don't start fighting each other too

    Thanks for the support everyone. No, I don't think he was sick. I check them out all the time, and they all seemed normal to me. He was the odd one out, the other two are brother and sister, and they get along great. Not sure why they did it, but hopefully they don't start to pick on eachother!

    I'm so so sorry about your poor lil ducky!

    Be very careful because in mating season males will want to mate with females so bad that they'll actualy hurt them realy bad or kill them, males will fight and can snap one anothers neck with ease so please be careful!

    Again so sorry, he was a beautiful duck!

    So sorry to hear about poor little Ducky. I just can't imagine what would make another duck want to kill another except maybe it being breeding season.

    We do get attached to our pet ducks though, and it hurts to loose them.

    RIP sweet Ducky

    Willie

    Thank You, kittycats_delight for my new siggy!!!
