Missing Duck. Please Help!

[Onewiththeducks]

My 5 month old Cayuga duck has gone missing. There are no signs of a predator. There are no feathers,blood, or tracks. My dad, grandpa, brother, uncle and I have looked around for hours with no trace of my Cayuga. We've narrowed it down to her flying away or she's sitting on eggs in a bush. I'm not sure if she can fly. She is also very cautious and she would never stray away from my Pekins. What do you guys think?

She won't be able to sustain flight, so she could be on a nest or if a predator got her, it would likely have been a large bird of prey or a coyote or dog that would run off with little sign.

Good luck finding her!

Are there treats that you give them sometimes, like peas? My runners come charging for peas.

 

[DuckLady]

Oh yes, treats! Good call, Amiga!

Mine trample me for Cheerios when they hear me shake the box!

Good luck! I really hope you find her!

Bobcats can and will take a duck (even ones as large as a Scovy) with no trace left behind.
