Update: After being separated for about half the day, we let him out and he was on his best behavior. They are all back to being best buds. He wasn't trying to mate with the gold duck, but trying to chase her away and pulling her wings, but all seems well. My 13yods said he didn't like time out...

We have 3 Welsh Harlequins that are about 6 1/2 months old. Our drake got is curly feather about a month ago and has been making his best effort to breed with the girls, though there have been no eggs as of yet. Our gold duck has been far less receptive to him than our silver duck and has a few...

That reminds me of trying to be sure of ours a couple of months ago. They are now mature and my initial choice based on day old beak color was right. It just took my gold duck longer to develop her quack than it did for my silver duck and both a bit longer than I thought it would by a week or...

Such cool ideas! Makes me wish I had a pond for my ducks.

I'm glad things have improved.

They look so happy. You must be doing a great job with them.

In terms of bigger traps, you might try a farm supply store like Tractor Supply. I'm glad you found out how they got to your ducks, though I must say I'm surprised they took so many without leaving much trace. My guess in this case is that you're looking at more than one fox, like a pair trying...

I'm glad she's better.

Is there any swelling? Could she have gotten them too cold? (Not sure what area of the world you're in or what the weather's been like there.) Gotten injured or bitten by something (spider or snake)?

My husband was just saying tonight that he wants to get a sprinkler for our 3 to play in this summer. Do they really love it?

Indeed, I was grateful that I hadn't started my planting yet. Ducks should be able to go back out tomorrow, though.

We're on the plains in Nebraska. It's all melted, but yeah snow in May is a first in the 13 years I've lived here.

So beautiful!

So sweet! I'm glad the chickens accept them so well too.

Good idea, Amiga. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Next time we see them, I might throw out some of our duck food or some fresh greens.

Sounds like you've got a great start! What type of ducks are they? You may want to consider a house or covered pen you can lock them into at night to protect them from predators. Most domestic breeds of duck cannot fly.

Yay! So glad she's better.

We have unseasonably wintry weather here today. Sleet and snow. Since our ducklings are not 100% feathered yet, we moved them to a temporary pen in the garage so they wouldn't get too cold. The kids and I have been watching the wild mallards through the living room window throughout the day...

Oh, I see. I didn't realize you were looking for eggs.
