Something has now eaten all of my ducks but one, and last night was the most gruesome attack. Whatever it was somehow reached under their coop (which how has hardware cloth all along the edge) and killed my last female duck and grabbed my drake while he tried to protect her. The drake lived, but he's depressed and in and out of shock. I need to know what's doing this so I can trap it and kill it.
I didn't get pictures of the wounds - I was so upset about it that my dad took the body away and buried her. I can tell you that on my survivor, his feathers are all matted down around his neck with saliva or something and the female was killed by an attack to her neck. That much I saw. I did find some tracks leading out of the woods, so I took pictures. They may just be cat tracks from my cat - I don't know. I also took pictures of how the predator managed to pull the ducks' heads out under the coop. Also, I did find the body of one of the other ducks that was taken and whatever did it ate just the head and nothing else. I can't say for sure that it was the same thing that attacked last night, though.
