As for another update, no sign of the hawk today. I know that on Sunday it attacked, skipped Monday, and then attacked Tuesday, so I'm unsure if it'll show up Thursday or not... But for most of the day the ducks stayed in the bushes, which I was extremely happy about. I want them to stay...

As I said, we have a lot of crows lately, so I'm wondering if that helped keep the hawks away for a while. But now one has found them, I guess. As for yet another update, I've brought them into the smaller yard and they are actually sitting in the bushes. Yay! Hopefully it will work and the...

I'm so sorry for your loss. :( I don't do chickens but I see that someone else is helping you. As for an update: I've decided to let the ducks into the smaller enclosed yard during most of the day, namely the afternoon, since that's when the other two attacks happened. Don't know if it'll...

We don't have a dog, and we probably aren't going to get one...So I might just spend some time out there tomorrow and stay nearby them. Not like I have anything better to do... But thank you.

Here are a few pictures I took this morning, and one a few days ago. As for your question, yes, they are free ranging in a large, enclosed space behind our house. (Not exactly a yard, lol...) But yes.

My Muscovy hen had 25 babies who are going to be about six weeks old this Friday. On Sunday the first hawk to prey on them got two. Just now, my mom and I heard the other birds going crazy outside, and we ran out since that usually means a hawk is around. Another baby gone. Is there any way...
