That is true, but we got our most of our babies with snow on the ground, so not so much for me except our 2 new ducks! Unfortunately, spring also brings out all the predators too, that is the downside. I just wish my biggest predator problem wasn't the neighbor's dog!
What kind of ducks are they? We have been trying all year to get that pair of foxes that get our chickens! We got 2 of their young but we have not gotten the parents yet! Is there anything you can do about the neighbor's dog or no? Dogs sometimes come around our house but we have someone that takes care of them for us
Our 2 "toddler" ducks that are around 3 weeks old, one is a Pekin and the other a Khaki Campbell. The "babies" that are a week old, one is a Khaki Campbell and the other a Black Cayuga. The week after next we have 2 more Black Cayugas coming. So much for only adding 2 new ducks this spring!
Yes, there is something I could/want to do about the dog, but it wouldn't do much for our neighbor relationship! He swears up and down his dog doesn't leave his yard and mostly only lets it out at night unless it is really nice out, but about the time I am ready to go to sleep, he sneaks up in the corner of our yard and makes our 2 outside dogs bark like crazy. He is sly and as soon as we get up to do something about it, he takes off. I have caught him by the goat pen and duck/goose pen many times. I also think he is responsible for our 2 ducks that got out and then disappeared. They don't leave the yard and both were gone in the night.
