Missing duck

[grammychick]

I have 3 Ancona ducks. The hen went missing 3 days ago. She has done this one other time and reappeared after 3 days. Is it possible she went off the hatch eggs? Has anyone had this experience?

I've never had this happen before but she could have layed eggs off somewhere and went to hatch them. Although it could have been a predator. Look around in the area and see if their is any sign of her or a predator. If you still can't find her, wait for the amount of time she supposed to lay/hatch the eggs. If she doesn't come back, then I'm sorry to say she may be gone. Good luck!

Thank you lovelyduckling for your input. We are searching for her and hoping for the best

Do you live in a rural area or more of a neighborhood? Any chance she could have ended up at a neighbor's house?

There was a post a few months ago where a chicken went missing, and it ended up that a neighbor had taken it in thinking it was a stray hen that had been dropped off.
