Unfortunately no, it’s been probably too long and surrounding the field we live in is pretty much all woods so it’s not looking great which really sucks 😞 . At least the remaining ducks seem ok but one of the drakes had lost his mate so he’s been a lil sad, but the others have been hanging out...

I had a couple hook and eye locks on the door but after reading all of your replies I changed them all out with those spring loaded hook latches. And beefed up the wire fencing so hopefully that can save the remaining ducks while I work on possibly reaping the predator. Thanks everyone for the...

Update: two of the drakes came back but the rest are still missing, I did find some sort of smaller canine tracks inside so I almost wonder if either a coyote or Fox could have gotten in somehow. Hope the rest are alright😞

Ok, I hope they are alright, do they tend to just hunker down until they feel safe? Or will they try to wander back?

When I went to let my call ducks out this morning I found that sometime last night something had unhooked the door latch and possibly killed some of my ducks, one was found in the yard without a head, so maybe after the initial attack an owl got that one. I have 24 but there are only 8 left. I...

Thank you for all the help everyone, I might try hanging some tape and CDs around my yard, I'll put some cameras around too. Maybe I'll check out some owl decoys or set up some radios.

I let the ducks out to free range this morning and at about noon I went out to check on them and noticed one of my hens was missing, I figured she had gone off to the tall grass and trees just outside of our yard to lay eggs. I eventually found her and something had killed and eaten all of her...

Ok, I’ll have to separate them. Thanks for the help!

I currently have a hen with five ducklings in a separate coop from the rest and just discovered that a hen whom I thought had disappeared, had been nesting in the field behind my house. She had ten eggs that are within days of hatching and I was wondering if they could live with the other mom...

Ok thank you!

there ya go!

I’ll try to get a video, how do I attach them onto here?

Hi everyone, I have six almost fully grown call ducklings and all are sexed except for one. It is a snowy that has the plumage of Drake but quacks loudly just like it’s mom, one of the other ducklings is raspy just like a normal drake. First time I’ve ever experienced this so any info would be...

It seems perfectly fine besides peeping like crazy 😂 I’m not sure that we have any sort of rehab center nearby but I’ll try looking in case I can’t take care of it. Thanks!

I just put it in about two hours ago but I’m camping so I don’t know how they are doing. I’ll check on them in the morning, thanks!
