    I have 15 ducks on about 10 acres of clear land. They free range on the pond and come to shelter at night. 1pekin and the rest Rouen or khaki. Not sure if we just happen to get lucky or if the neighboring fenced in fields help keep predators away but since may 2019 we haven’t lost any (fingers...

    Not coming in for the night

    Hello, this is my first winter with my 15 ducks, couple Pekin, khaki Campbell, random mix of breeds. They have a duck house about 50 yard from our pond.

    Too many drakes

    So far no trouble, the pond is only a couple years old, I’m sure they will make their way there eventually, as you’ve said. Any hints on how to keep the turtles away to begin with?
