We had Red to the vet today after he charged a coyote he saw in the front pasture...only problem was he was outnumbered!! Three coyotes attacked him before Roger could get to them. A heifer cow had lost her first calf thru the night and the coyotes were drawn to the dead calf. Red hates coyotes.

20 staples in his leg to close big bite marks and numerous smaller punctures were cleaned and dusted. He is unable to use his left back leg and has trouble now with the other.

At 9 years old Red has degenerative discs in his lower back and we had ordered a wheel chair for him recently because he was beginning to have trouble walking. Now the wheel chair will be a daily necessity until his leg heals. We are accepting that Red may be in his wheel chair from now on.
Will have to post a photo of Red in his two wheeled chair.
Editing to add some photos:

There is a sling in the back to support the injured leg so it doesn't drag on the ground.

THE like was about the wheel chair allowing him time to heal and ambulate,not about the calf or the attack.

I don't know about ducks, but it wouldn't work w/ chickens.
