Sad Day - Lost 14 Muscovy babies to a rainstorm

[BaJa]

poor you, mom and babies. maybe they couldn't find momma and got cold in the rain? sorry for your loss

 

[pamelajean]

Sorry to hear of your loss, tragic.

Very sorry about the babies!
I'm in agreement with the lightning theory myself..But JMO...

OMG SO SO SORRY

 

[chickens really]

@9Tiptoes i am so sorry you lost them, a very tragic accident indeed


i dont see how you could so quickly jump to that conclusion, from the sounds of it they were broody raised and therefore near all the ducks the entire time, so there was no introduction time at all. The way you stated this was just a bit harsh.

I was not being harsh....I was helping....My logic of Duckling killing is just as logical as a lightning strike...Either way, sadly the Ducklings are dead...Non of us witnessed these dead Ducklings so every reply is speculation ....

your theory is possible, it was just the way it was stated. It was very blunt with no sympathy
the OP lost 15 ducklings which is very hard to accept, so i was just saying that you were blunt, no offense meant to you

Appreciated and although blunt I love Ducks and apologize for my wording...Things get taken out of context...I saved 4 Ducklings 1 Duckling died of its shaking...I have 3 happy 9 week old Ducks...
Anyways... I try my best and never strive to be rude....

What about lightening?

I thought of that immediately, but they were nested about 20 yards outside our front door. If there had been a lightning strike, our house electrical would have been hit badly. And there's no way we would have missed a nearby strike.
They were outside in pasture area, well away from all the farm electrical lines, both overhead & underground. Mama was also with them and she is unharmed.
Thank you <3
