Hello
I'm new to ducks. I have a kakhi cambel and a runner duck that had been laying very well this summer. I am sure my runner is molting. She hasn't laid in more than a month. My kakhi cambel stopped laying about that time but she doesn't seem to be in molt. How long till they get back in...

Caught a possum in my trap. It had already killed 3 of my younger birds. I'm still sure it was a coon that killed the other 3 last week. Different kill style and the possum only went for small 1 month old chicks. I'm going to keep the trap out every night until I get that racoon! At least the...
