    Whats best for the duck and ducklings welfare?

    Thanks. I do see your point, and agree that this mother duck is a bit on the daft side. Is it ok to say that my mother in law is also an idiot? 😂, but my husband turner out ok. I think they are likely to make an appearance soon, and Id find it hard to sit back and do nothing. So I wanted to give...

    Whats best for the duck and ducklings welfare?

    Thankyou - this is pretty much what I had in mind. Its just that my garden is huge - so I could not hang netting all over my garden, so my plan was to fence my garden off a bit.

    Hi there !🦆

    Thanks for replying. I find it hard not to help out - I feel a responsibility with her being in my garden. But I totally get what your saying - she wouldnt get that help in the wild.

    Whats best for the duck and ducklings welfare?

    Hello, Sorry this is going to be a really long question! I live in the UK, so I know things may be different here than in the US. I have a wild duck that chooses to nest in my garden every year (for the past 3 years). It's large but has no pond. The first 2 years, I knew nothing about ducks...
