My duck killed my other duck

What type of fencing and if you can share pictures of your set up?
I'm not home currently but I can describe it to u. I all sides are fenced with wire and we have polls supporting the wire so nothing can push it down. The top also has a thick net so if an animal jumps on it, it won't rip. Their area might be too small for them but we are currently trying to get them a bigger set up since it was fine before we mixed in my pekins with thr mallards.
 
Could they have let your ducks go hungry while you were away ?
My parents and brothers all feed them when I'm not home. Which is often since I'm barely starting university but I always ask and they tell me they feed them. We have alot of animals and feed the stray cats so they feed them around the same time as we feed the dogs and cats

How many ducks and how big is the pen ?
Also what kind of fencing
How big are the holes in the wire ?
 
Chickens will cannabalize other poultry we have a member now treating their duck where their chickens were eating her alive but I have never heard of ducks doing something like this, drakes killing each other fighting and females being drowned by too many drakes during breeding season is about it.

Could you ask your family for more details on where the injuries on the attack were, and for them to send you pictures of the coop?
 
Weasels, minks can get through 1” openings can you give us an idea of what part of the USA your in
I live in west texas which raccoons are common here but in the town I stay in there hasn't been a sighting of any of these animals since we've lived here for a long time. I live in a neighborhood so I'm not near any of the land that's empty.

The pen is small compared to the amount of ducks we have since we combined them so we are trying to make them a bigger enclosure it I'd also chicken wire I believe? One side of the wall is made of a wood fence and the others are metal fence
