Owls to deter hawks
The owls have kept the hawks away- but one got my duck Wednesday. Since it has worked, I was wondering should I move them more? -

Need immediate Help
I had 2 drakes, one was just killed by a hawk, I’m getting a new duck, so the remaining duck is not alone. Should I get a duckling or an adult duck?

6 week duckling introduction
I have 3 drakes- 2 are a year old & 1 is 3 years old. I keep the baby inside & have a separate place fir him during the day outside. What age do you think I should start putting him in the pin at night? The pin during the day is by the house, the big ducks stay out at the pond & creek. -
