Yesterday was the first time i put my ducks up in there new pen and i started a thread telling what a "fun" time i had putting them up. Well tonight i went to put my duck up and the same thing happened and my two hen mallards flew and stayed on the pond while the others where herded into the pen. I then went back in my chest waders to herd the hens off the pond on, and like yesterday the old hen flew off. Well it was nearly dark then and of course its pitch black now and she still has not returned and it has me worried. There is ponds scattered around me and a marsh to the south of me but i won't be able to check any of them till tomorrow. She's the oldest out of the bunch but is only about 2 years old and an excellent flyer. She was also my best broody hen. So i guess i just came here to vent and get some reassurance that she will fly home. (i hope)
