Cat attacking ducks

[JuneAndDaisyDuckz]

Hi guys,
I have a question, would cats attack my two ducks at day and if so, how can I prevent that? They came for the first time at Sunset last night and I was worried the whole night. I closed them in their coop and the door to the run as I was scared they might rip it as they were two cats. I have a decent sized lawn and I can’t keep an eye on it all the time.

If the cat has already gone after the ducks once its a fair bet they will during the day too.

Is there any solutions, I mean they were circling the coop, and right now, my ducks are sitting near my window so I can keep my eye on them. Is there anyway to prevent them from coming?

Are Your ducks legal?

What do you mean by legal? The area I live in allows us to keep up to 10 poultry, if that is what you are asking. They are also Pekins which are legal as well.

I try to remind everyone, when rehoming cats, it is necessary to cross at least 3 bridges.

Sadly, you don't have many options, either rehome the cats, the ducks, or make it so the cat can't physically get to the ducks. I don't think any training is going to work here.

As long as your on the right side of the law, use that to your advantage.

Hi guys, I just want to make it clear that I don’t own the cats at all, one of them seems like a stray and the other seems like an owner cat

I would either call animal control to come get them or you could ask around about a feral cat rescue. I know in my area there is a woman who traps feral cats with box traps, gets them vetted then rehomes them to people with barns. Anytime someone has a feral cat they just give her a call.
