Last week i lost two ducks (the first night i had them)
figured coons were my problem becaise i had a family of 6 coming every couple nights. Took a week but i managed to shoot all 6...Mom and 5 adolescent.
well its 3am and something got in again. Some FAST in a matter of secs after hearing the loud quacking i was outsode to the coupe (20ftx20ft...8ft chicken wire walls) the one duck was gone. I heard her a few seconds later...
she was 20yard in the bush beside my yard...laying down..bleeding but alive. Shes fine...but what could be doing this that is so fast.
it was literally seconds from attack to in the bush.
any thoughts.
 
***a few side notes

I have a chicken couple 10yards from my duck run. Never a problem in 4 years.

My duck run is butted up behind my pig fence...never any problems with pig attacks.

I have two large "free range" dogs (love all my animals and would never hurt them)
It isnt a coon im dealing with again..my one dog is a coon dog and i took her out with me tonight....if there was a coon around she would have tracked it.
im actually wondering if it was a coon the first attack now.

If it was an owl attack...would there have been any chance of survival. My ducks injuries are extremely minor. Shes walking right now...and has a bit of blood at the tip of her wing.
