Randy Daffy the Duck

Just when you think everything is settled.  The chickens and ducks are living happily together in their new run area and house, Daffy the duck has taken a shine to Treacle the hen.
Poor treacle is being chased around the run, Benny Hill style.  I half expected to see a policeman with truncheon join in the chase.
Sadly, it seems he will not give up without "completing his mission".  Treacle is getting so fed up she is making her way up onto the top of the house and launching her self over the omlet netting into the open garden.  This isn't a major problem, other than she doesn't have access to food and water,and there is a better chance of me and the kids stepping in a freshly laid piece of poo!
So the only solution for now is for Treacle to live with the Silver Lace Wyandottes.  Not ideal but they all seem to have accepted the new living arrangements for now.

Treacle has always been a bit of a loner, never really settling in the larger group of hens.  One of dads army is always having a pop at her for standing in the wrong place.  Perhaps that is why she is a good broody, as she seems happy on her own with her own company.
I'm hoping a week out of the group may help Daffy forget his lust for her.  But that in itself could lead to problems when I reintroduce her with bullying from the other hens.

It's never straight forward with poultry, and it's a bit like looking after squabbling children sometimes, but at least there are not dirty nappies or bums to wipe!
