Emergency missing duck.

[Berrybirds]

I have a emergency i put ducks out in a spot i thought they would like. Now out of 3 we can only find 1. We see no feathers and the duck were raised together. But now they are gone and we cant see them. Because it is a thick brush pond with alot of food but they are gone... please help we are freaking out and we moved the other duck. We even used the other duck as a call duck. We are worried they are dead.

Oh my! Unfortunately I have no advice to share, but I wish you the best of luck!

Unless it's protected from predators, someone probably ate it. Better cage the survivors. Predators often comeback for more.

Keep an eye out, something could have chased them away. Or they wandered a little too far from view, just keep going back to look for them. Otherwise, do not let the other one back out! As Thumper650 said, the predator will come back!
Have any game trail cameras? I'd set one out to see what's out there at night

They could very well be just fine. Just keep coming back to where they last were and maybe look around in the woods a bit. I’d leave out some of their favorite treats where they were last seen. Whatever you do don’t let the remaining duck out of your site because if it was a predator it will likely come back. I hope everything turns out well and your babies are safe. I wish you and them the best of luck. I

So this thick brush pond isn't on your property? How old were these ducks? sounds like a predator snatched and ran off this time of year most predators are feeding their young which makes our ducks even more vulnerable. Very sorry for your loss.

Did you find your Ducks?

 

[Berrybirds]

Not yet but I’m going to look later and it is on our property. We also don’t have coyotes, or foxes, but we have hawks and raccoons, that’s it.

How far from your home is your pond?

I’m very very very sad to report we found feathers and we think we know what killed them. We think a bobcat got them because we exterminated coyotes and we only saw one fox ever like 3 years ago. Thank you guys for all the comments and help.
