I had 4 ducks. In the fall the fox got 2. We shot and killed that fox (red). Then fast forward to this spring, last week actually, a fox got into the duck pen and got the remaining 2. All I have left of them are a few eggs...I think only one may hatch. Anyway I completely freaked out and was really upset and vowed to kill that fox.
Last night my DD saw something outside the window. What do you know it was Mrs Gray and her pup sniffing around the now empty duck pen (coming back for seconds). My DH raced upstairs to get the gun but by the time he came back they were gone. I am hoping to trap them as soon as my friend brings his trap over. I will set it up beside the duck pen with some unhatched eggs or some meat inside. Its a shame I have to kill the young one too but there are not any other options.
I hope we catch them sooner than later as the egg is set to hatch at the beginning of May and I am getting 8 live ducks and gesse at the end of May.
