Could a raccoon carry the whole duck away? One hasn’t been found

One was found decapitated in the pond and the other has not been found.

These three ducks are / were completely free ranging. They were pets here when we bought the house in a subdivision outside of Charleston SC a year ago. When we had hurricanes, I did put them on the screened porch w tarps on the sides to protect them a little bit. They hated it. They were about...

That’s a beautiful picture. Camera works well! We live in a large subdivision so there are not a lot of predators I would think. The nest cam did however catch a call of an owl on Friday and Saturday. We have alligators in some of the ponds but none have been seen in our pond but I think an...

Thank you

We have / had 3 free ranging ducks. 2 Peking’s and one Khaki Campbell. I had to leave town because we had a death in the family but had someone coming by to feed the ducks. I saw on the nest video camera that they were fine Friday evening when they came for supper. I watched the video cam last...

I took the male to the vet today. I have to keep him separated for 2 weeks while I give him meds for his eye and see if I can get him healthy again. The female Peking is with him right now so I can see how that works (they have been together all of their lives) I have the khaki Campbell and...

Should I put the female and male Peking’s together that have lived together all their lives? Or separate each of them? I could put a couple on my screened porch .... have put all 3 there during hurricanes (when they were getting along)

Long story but going to try to condense. I bought a house that came w 3 ducks (one male Peking one female Peking - who have been together all their lives - about 4years - and a male Khaki Campbell which appeared at the house / pond about a year ago - he might be 2 years old) They were getting...

Makes me sad. I love him but think you are right. He would probably be happier w more females. Thank you

Thank you. They are all beautiful. The aggressiveness has me worried and is starting to take a toll on the Peking male. No unfortunately no coop. They free range. I do bring them on the screened in porch when a hurricane is on the way.

The previous owners assumed someone put him on this pond summer of 18. I did hold the male Peking yesterday and check out his eye and weight. I am concerned about him. The others seem in good health. Is it safe to list on Craigslist? I’ve never had ducks before moving to this house - much less...

This is a picture of the two males earlier this summer in my back yard

You are probably right. I wish I could. However, I live in a subdivision in the city (Charleston SC) The previous owners bought the 2 Peking’s as babies and put them in the pond behind the house. Irresponsible yes - but they have been here their whole lives. The Khaki showed up in July of 18 and...

I bought a home a year ago that “came with” 3 free ranging ducks. One male Peking, one female Peking and one male (young) Khaki Campbell. They seemed to get along fine until about a month ago. 2 very young male mallards showed up too and tried to join the flock. The 3 senior ducks personalities...

We have 3 free range ducks with no coop - one male Peking, one female Peking and a male Khaki Campbell. About a week ago 2 male Mallards showed up and are working very hard to be accepted. They appear to be and act young. My questions are 1) should they be eating the duck feed I am currently...

We are doing good. The 3 of us, dog, cat and 3 ducks are fine. Ducks area is dry and free from the high winds. Been sitting out there w them this morning enjoying the “breeze” with them. Mama duck was falling asleep as I was talking to them. Where we are - Gusts up to 60 mph and projected...

There aren’t any trees near the porch that could fall on them. Also the pond in the back yard if about 6-8 feet down a bank so no problem there

I have their kiddie pool, reg feed, fresh water, meal worms, water w electrolytes, big dog house, pine shavings and my comfy chair to sit w them some. It’s a 12x15 porch that we put tarps on 3 sides and we have ceiling fans to circulate air. Anything else you think I might need?
