OH NO!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry to hear that. How many ducks do you have left? What killed her?

she must have gone over the fence, i thought i had cut enough of her fly feathers but it seems not, and my dog kill her, didn't make a sound, my father came to tell me she was dead, the dog is hiding under the car, she knows that was my duck she kill.... didn't eat her, just kill her, my sister is cleaning it to try to save the meat.... im so sad

I'm so sorry, even with clipped wings sometimes even if they can't fly very far they can still get over a fence. I know this won't make you feel any better but my dog killed one of my ducklings this past summer, broke my heart. They have a way of getting right up into our hearts thats for sure,.

I'm so sorry. I hope that you are able to find a friend for your other duck. Take the time you need to cry and cry and then cry some more. It's always hard to lose a pet. Try not to blame yourself. Accidents happen and this was just an accident.

As Miss Lydia said, they can still get out. I have some Scovies that can literally climb the fence. I would have never believed it before but I saw it for myself.

And another sad thing is that dogs think it's a game. They don't do it because they are hungry, it's just to "play". It will be ok.

I'm sorry how upsetting. 'scovie girls are good flyers. I had a dog kill two of my birds this past summer, not mine a neighbours that came across the river, i was ticked, still am.

Oh that soo sucks! Unfortunately animal natures are what they are and things happen. Still breaks your heart when it happens.
