From a hawk? If so then this hawk has made your flock it's main food source.. I'd get fake crows ASAP or you're going to lose a lot more.. Crows are naturally hawk's rival and hawks will try to avoid them if they seem them in groups.

An owl or two will do as well

I saw one hawk with the peeping ducking in it's talons, so I suspect that's what happen to the others.

Are they in a small run? (The ducks) IF they are i'd suggest getting some game netting to put over the fencing if you cant get the owls/crows.... Very sorry to hear these hawks are being a problem.

No, they free range, so netting is not an option.

Then while you're having this hawk problem i'd fence them in (Temperately) Until you get those crows up and once you stop seeing the hawks come around.

The majority of ducklings have been sold, so I think I'm okay for now.

Every year we get a pair or two that come for handouts.
These flew over but didn't stop.

We have a pair of geese that we call Mr and Mrs Geese. They always come stop by and say hello to us every year..
