    Female getting beat up by my drake

    I watched them for about 20 minutes after the snow stopped and he was the only one that did anything to her. I think I will keep her out at first and when I reintroduce her I will take him out for a day or so. I guess its that time of year but I have no eggs to show for it.

    Snapping Turtle Attack?

    I was missing an ancona when I put them away tonight. A walk around the pond revealed him on the water's edge still alive with a nearly detached leg. What would do that and not finish the job? They were only out from 9 am to 6 pm and a Great Pyrenees puppy has been running around much of the...
