Wow, lately there has been a lot of progress. Yes, the ducks in the breeding farm is growing very well. We put three flocks together and they are now integrated, not fully, but nearly so.
The forest farm, well, we're clearing a forest from the dense vegetation so we may be able to keep a close eye on the ducks. It's going really well although we began the clearing two weeks delayed from schedule. But two weeks is not a problem really. Our flock is very large for the area we keep them at the moment, the move will really be something different for them and I wish with positive effects.
We've had some strange incidents with three ducks that have picked feathers and they have been cut slightly, very strange. I saw coagulated blood in these cuts and I separated these duck into 'sick bay'. They are eating and drinking as normal. They are recovering. I'm not sure if there is some kind of cannibalism going on or what. It'll show sooner or later. I need to spot the ducks that are hostile and cull them, that's all.
There are no traces of other animals that may have entered the duckling farm so I'm pretty sure that there is severe picking/cannibalism going on.
