Lonely Duck

Bring her inside no matter how much of a fuss she puts up. Sit her on your lap, get her a treat and turn on the tv and pet her.

Is it possible that a person took them? Does the remaining duck seem extra wary of you?

Aww thank you. You’re so kind. I currently am chicken less until March so this is how I get my daily dose of chickens.

May the months go by quickly for you! <3

Sounds like a good plan! The kids will like that.

Even better that you have kids. Ley them play with her and give her treats.

Hopefully people didn’t take them. I agree with @brahmachicken5000, bring her in no matter what. Put on a nature documentary and fill up a washtub or sink for her to play in to take her mind off of her friends

They are wary of everyone. We handled them so much and spend so much time with them when they were little yet they won't let us come within three feet of them. I wouldn't think a human could catch one easily.

Looking at Metzer Farms hatching table the next available is the 11th. Runners are very skittish so I wouldn’t get them however there are more breeds avialible. They have a 2 duck minimum

This will probably result in additional stress, but something must be done to protect her. Whatever/whoever took the other two will return.

I know they don't like to be alone but it's not the time of year you can just go out and buy a duck.

Maybe see if a local farm or animal park would be willing to sell you one.

Let her approach you. Squat in her run or near her with treats and when she gets close enough grab her and be gentle but firm, bring her inside quickly​
