Rouen Ducks

Hello, and welcome to BYC. Electrified fence and or hot wire are great mammalian predator deterrents.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC! I'm so sorry for the loss of your ducklings. That had to be horrific.

Was it during the day or at night? Our two ducks free range as well as several chickens during the day, but at night, the chickens go to their secure coop and the ducks go to theirs. The ducks' coop is a hutch inside of a dog kennel that's reinforced with 1/2" hardware cloth.

We have two dogs, solar motion lights, and both of us are home most days, so other than bears, the wild animals don't come near, even though the forest is in our backyard.

We're glad you're here!
