I am guessing a rat. I think they gave up the boat yesterday. Now the nest maybe under the propane tank. They did not go to their house last night. They are not getting over their nerves. I want to start over with new ducks.
They fully accept my terrier even when she ran into them and bowled...
My ducks are laying. Two for sure and maybe a third this morning. But if not predators it will be ducklings. They must be sharing a nest ...under the boat which is sitting on the ground.
I wrote a reply but my phone service dropped and it did not post.
Water and feed were always out for the ducks. They just would not get near it. They spent much of their time in the dead crabgrass. This morning for the first time they came running when I put out their feed.
Wondering if mine will ever lay. They are August hatch. But with the dog( no more) scaring them so badly plus killing one, and then my effort of dumping ice... They did not eat feed for 5 days and no water for 4.
Suddenly yesterday evening they are all the feed I had put out for the that...
