Today I went outside to open duck coop so they can freerange. I noticed my jumbo pekin duck "Aflac" was missing! He had 2 sisters 1 brother a girlfriend and a kid. I think a coyote got him. Any advice? I have 2 cats and 2 dogs but their scared of the ducks.

help?
 
Missing from the coop? If you know how he got out, need to remedy that.
Sorry to hear that he is missing.
 
Jumbo Pekin aww poor boy. I am so sorry but now that Aflac has been taken they will be back for the rest. Keep them penned up and reinforce your pen top bottom and sides.

So sorry for your loss. :hugs
 
I would place a bet that a predator got Aflac, or Aflac got away but is currently lost. Ducks don't usually wander off if they have a flock to be with. Either all go, or none go. However, if it was a predator, you need to keep your other ducks locked up in their coop for at least a couple days. Often once predators get one, they come back for the rest at some point. As far as determining what predator could have attacked, I would rule out a hawk because any kind of Peking or other large duck could not be taken away by them. The hawk would have to kill on sight, so search your property and the land nearby thoroughly. Other than that it's anyone's guess on what or if anything attacked. Best of luck on finding Aflac.
 
No ducks have been taken since, except one little khaki campbell that goes missing nowhere to be seen for a few hours then reappears at her boyfriends side

is my duck time travelling? lol
