I had five (four ducks, one drake) seven-week old Campbell's in about a 20-square-foot grow out cage until one died. A few evenings ago I noticed missing feathers on one of them, but nothing signifying an immediate emergency. I made a mental note to isolate that bird the next morning. When I arose the next AM, it was dead in the middle of the pool. My bedroom is near that cage - and my dogs, though indoors, miss nothing - and there were no signs of predator entry or wounds.
I suspect that the victim was either (1) the drake and the ducks killed him for being male, or (2) there was something weak or unusual about the victim so they killed it for that. Do I have some sort of racist, sexist, elitist ducks on my hands? Anyone ever see this in ducks? All of my previous ducks got along well.
