I’m trying to establish a free range flick of Muscovy ducks here on my farm in central Ky. I have a clean two acre pond about 400 yards from my house. Probably 50/50 trees and open space. Bought 4 adults and one left immediately and the other three were lost to predators over the next month. I have a smaller pond near the house. I started with seven and am down to one drake and one hen. They have shelter in a large pet carrier connected to a 4x4 cattle panel enclosure. I let them out every day to forage and they are good to come back to their home every night. Thoughts on how to get them established as free range and self sufficient on either pond?
