I still see the bones of my dead Pekin duck. We bought in 2010 5 female ducks, they were unsexed but they grew up and matured but no drake feather. we lost 4 of them. then 2011, we bought 5 black ducks that were all male and she was raising them, but she didn't stay around for them to be full maturity. A few of the males humped her, but I never got duck babies hatched. Her nest was kinda hard to find. Her body disappeared. We moved a stationed bus vehicle we had in the yard and there was her dead body. It's been taking many weeks for her to decompose, I been seeing her bill and sternum bones every day practically. When I walk around where that bus used to be. I try to not walk on her bones is why. Gotta have respect for the dead.
And of those black ducks, I ate one before they all left to a pond that we don't own and then now there is only one black duck left there. And they lost ducks too, they are down to one white female duck. I walked up there cuz I was invited to see mine, but my ducks didn't care for me after they got into that other bigger pond.
