I'm sorry that happened to you. I thought that when my ducks got grown that hawks couldn't carry them off. Well, I guess they can't but we both know they can eat them right in front of you. I don't know your set up but I immediately put netting up all over my runs. It's a pain and looks like hell but I feel so much better about things now.Yesterday I had a hawk kill one of my hens, it was the first time ever for me. Worst part is the hawk ripped it apart and ate it in the yard. When I got home feathers were everywhere. So I'm trying something new. I put out a dozen duck decoys and a gobbler decoy in my yard. My thinking is that hopefully the gobbler will scare the hawks. But if it doesn't I'm hoping the hawk will go after a duck decoy first so my hens can get to safety in the coop. CD's getting put up today. My swimming pool is drained for a good cleaning. Once it's full again I'll put the ducks back in it. Only problem with that is that I get real ducks roosting in the decoys at night, cleaning their crap in the pool sucks.
