Call duck moving her nest?

[PekinProblems]

I have a call duck that disappeared a couple weeks ago. We finally managed to find her on the far side of the property sitting on a nest so we left her be but we would bring her food and water everyday so she doesn’t have to go far. As of last Sunday she and her eggs are nowhere to be found. The property is fenced in and we do not have many predators. There was no sign of anything attacking her... no blood, feathers, broken eggs, or bodies anywhere. Is it possible that she moved the entire eggs to a new location? If so how do they do this?

I would say it's very unlikely that she moved her eggs. I've seen them roll some eggs in and out of the nest but never far.
Either something got her eggs, like maybe a snake and she's gone off somewhere else or something got them both.
What kind of fence? Pleanty of predators can climb over and get under fences.

It’s a 5ft welded wire fence so I don’t doubt at all that something could go over or under it at all but we have never had a predator problem. We live in an area with lots of other houses and a lot going on. There’s just no signs of struggle whatsoever. This duck has also been known to disappear for weeks at a time and always come back. She blends on with her surrounding very well so it’s hard to see her even when she’s right under your feet!

My guess is something got her eggs and she took off somewhere then. I hope she comes back!
A lot of people never have predator problems though,
Until they do. There is a reason we say "like a sitting duck" they don't really have a way to defend themselves.
