hi guys! So I incubated and hatched 6 ducklings this spring. They’re my little babies but they’re getting big now and I’m moving Them to their hutch outside soon. I have a secure hutch for them to be locked in at night. The whole area is going to be fenced in for them during the day. Hardware cloth wiring for an apron, for the roof, the floor and any reinforcements for the fence. I just ordered “predator eyes” to put inside the fenced in area. I saw something you can buy that uses ultrasonic noises to repel predators but I’m not sure if that would bother the ducks as well? I also saw a repellent for predators is pure wolf urine?? I guess you spray it around your yard. I have four dogs though and I don’t want them to feel uncomfortable. I just need to ensure nothing will break into their safe space. The only time I’ll let them free roam the yard is when I’ll be outside with them. I’m not taking any chances this time. Has anyone ever had success raising duckies and not having anything get to them? I feel like I just hear so many horror stories and I would rather bring the ducks inside to sleep every night than to deal with losing them honestly. I’ll do anything for them so if you have any suggestions, even if they seem crazy, please share them with me! Thanks so much!
