I found a 12wk old duck by the pond edge. Leg mutalated had to kill the fellow out of mercy. Any idea of what attacked. My own guess is turtle. We live in south east Ontario.
Do you know how long you can use a drake in a small gaggle before interbreeding is an issue? I have about six hens and two drakes.one is runner,quit a twit , the rest are mascovies.
I have three drakes. One wacky runner and two Heaney duty Maccovy. I am worried they may upset the brooding hens. I have pended the two bruts. Any onsite on this, or an I over cautious.
