Ducklings Dying, please help!

[Miss Lydia]

I just don't believe a snake would chew on wings and just keep biting. I was just on the predators and pests forum. Hoping more members will help out there.
Sorry not wanting to go against the snake theory just having a hard time with it.

Maybe 2 different things going on. But, when you look at the bite mark's and compare those to the link I posted from another BYC member its pretty close.
I don't have to be right. Just trying to help out. But, the main thing the OP needs to do no matter what predator it is to get the remaining into a safer set up.

Honestly I am not attacking you I just have never seen this before with a snake. And we have alot of very large Rat snakes. But looking at the picture from the thread you posted it does look similar on the neck of this duck. I guess living in Texas it could have been a rattler but why would he chew on the wing. And the feet looked weird too?

Thats a mink… & u definitely have them in central tx… there all over longview / nac / college station/ lufkin…

Don’t rule out a coon either. Ive seen them eat a baby while the others are iINCHES away. Trust me a coon or mink can still get there little paws thru those openings

@Mreeves do you have a game camera set up?

How'd you go? Is it sorted?
You have a lovely duck area with the pond in the background.
Have you considered having ducklings inside at night till you have to put them out because they get to big? They are easy to live with and are very entertaining lol.
