Old fashioned Broody thread for ducks 2013 edition

no these were caught last night

Wow this would be a good thread for all to read since we see so many on here say well we live in the suburbs or city and we don't have predators.

I was checking the eggs for pips (I can dream right?) and I found another that had kind of a blackish blob in the middle of the egg, like the other one. What do you think?

last year I killed 16 coons, 3 possums, 2 foxes , a bobcat and 3 weasels. Well ok, the cat killed those weasels. Last year was my worst predator year to date. Good luck!

I found cheap canned dog food worked best for adult coons and cracked corn worked best for the young. So untimately I baited all traps with both until they were eliminated

That is so sweet, at least their the same color as their mama even if she is a chicken.

Maybe your off on your dates, sounds like there could be ducklings but study those pics and see if you can figure it out.

Hopefully it's just one family of coons and once they're gone they'll be gone for good. But I wouldn't bet on it. Be aware that if you see one in daylight, it is very likely that something is really wrong... Like rabies or other. That's probly why your AC didnt want them.
