Well, she lost one. So we are down to 7. But still pretty good for a week on the yard. Hopefully they have gotten fast enough we won't lose any more. Because I can't catch her to get her penned up. I have two more muscovy girls sitting on nests as well now.

Aww sorry to hear this, any ideas what might be coming around?

Well... I have two children and I did not find out the gender with either of them and it was a piece of cake. However, I ordered 10 straight run duckling that are now 5 weeks old and it is DRIVING ME CRAZY! They are all the same size, same size legs and feet, some are getting a little bit more flight feathers than the others but they change so much day to day that its hard to use that as a determining factor. I will look at them from above when they are sitting down and think "oh wow, he is HUGE. That one must be a male!" and then it stands up next to the rest and I think "well, the chest looks more compact than the other ones so its a female!" I do this almost everyday with all ten. I go out and sit for hours and just watch them and I still have NO CLUE who is what. Any ideas?

I know what it was. Dog. My dog. We have a little house dog that likes to chase ducks. Not chickens. Just ducks. He taught our other dog this nasty habit. Ugh.

Oh gosh been there but only 1 time now our dachshunds are not allowed around the ducklings and chicks they can see them through the fence but can't get to them. Once they are size of adults they don't mess with them. It's the peeping that brings on the prey drive and size.

Hope you don't lose any more. @ameliadanielle
