Yesterday when I got home my duck Calvin was gone...I am SO Sad and desperate to find him. He never leaves the yard except to occasionally go to my neighbors yard. It's been getting in the 30's at night but he stays inside at night. It was a clear sunny day when he disappeared while I was at church. Any suggestions?? My heart is broken...
He is my only duck.
Thats to bad, and I am very sorry but It is not a good idea to leave a duck that can't possibly defend it self against animal or human without protection. Even if we think there aren't predators, there are and they are just waitng for the opportunity to get to our pets whether they be dog,cat or duck. I hope you find him. Again I am very sorry.I have asked all our neighbors and put the alert out. He was not fenced in...
Very sorry fowl farm.
Even a dog running lose would take a duck unprotected. a good sturdy welded wire or poultry netting the kind from Premier 1 that is hot wired. a wooden fence anything that keeps him in and the preds out. But your best bet of protection would be to keep him confined in his pen an run when you can't watch him even inside a fenced in area some preds can still climb and get in. Being alone makes him very vunerable.
