It started about a week or two ago. We had put the ducks up around 8, and noticed thathat instead of 7, we had 6 ducks. We are now down to 4 ducks, as of Last night. all of our ducks are Pekin ducks, except for one of our males who is a Pekin/Indian runner and is gray and white. So far all we have lost are hens but no drakes, and it only happens if they aren't put up at or just after dusk. There is never any evidence left behind. No body or even pile of feathers, just a missing duck. By dusk all or most of the chickens are up so we haven't lost any chickens yet, only female ducks. We live in North Carolina and Raccoons, possums, foxes, and Cototes are very common. We have even found the remains of a bobcat, but that's the only evidence we've found of bobcats aroud. We might see if we can get a live trap out there and see if we can catchat anything. Any help figuring out what could be getting our ducks would be extremely useful!
