So this morning I went to give my ducks fresh food and water. I found of of my ducks ducklings dead in a bucket of water, it appears that it got water logged and drowned. What I dont under stand is how this duckling managed to get into the bucket. This was a two week old muscovy, still very small. The top of the bucket was about 14 inches from the ground. I know they can jump, but I am finding this hard to beleive. The only other thing that I cant think of is the mother picked it up and put it in the bucket, which is also hard to beleive. Has anyone heard of this happening? I got rid of the bucket and went to get a automatic waterer for them.
