I have 4 duck, all hens now. I had a drake until last night. I think a coyote, raccoon or bobcat got him. These ducks have all been free range and I only make them go in at night in the winter when the pond is frozen. Now, I have a hen who is sitting full time on 8 eggs, and Im scared to death for her safety as well as for the safety of her eggs, not to mention my other 3 hens! Can I move her and her nest to the safety of the 'Quack Shack' or will this make her abandon her nest? Now that my drake is gone, Im counting on at least one of those eggs to hatch a boy! More importantly though, is keeping my girls safe. I know this predator is sure to come back. Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!
