    Do free ranging ducks come back at night?

    I'm saying my other two Pekins lived quite well on the lake for two years and were never shut up at night because I couldn't catch them. That's a long time if my area is absolutely crawling with predators, so I'm not sure it is. Or they were just very lucky ducks.

    Do free ranging ducks come back at night?

    It isn't a pond but a lake. Not closed off. Catching them would take a minimum of two people and not something that could be feasibly done on a daily basis. However, my other two ducks lived on the cove day and night for two years before something got them or they ran off. I'm still not sure...

    Duckling with perosis

    Sorry for the spelling error. They suggested I put her down. :( The hatchery is sending me two new ducks at no cost...they said they are unable to ship one at a time. I had her for less than a day so I really didn't have time to get attached. Now I have one lone duckling for the next few...

    Duckling with perosis

    Received my two Pekin ducklings on Wedneaday that I ordered. One of them couldn't walk so I took her to the vet and they told me she has a genetic thing called perosis. I called the hatchery and they said they warranty ducks for 24 hours and I shouldn't have taken her to the vet it wasn't...
