Our local fair is this weekend.. old time, country type.. 157th to be exact .. anyways my girls entered pictures in the fair, 2 of them were of our ducks...

My younger dd won with a shot of Junior.. yes the my 3mth old that we lost to some predator this week..

she placed first in the high school division Black & white. She starts grade 9 this month lol



My older girl entered a pic of the last hatch in their pool..(well sandbox but shhhh) she placed second.

Very nice. Have you seen any more evidence that anything is still coming around? poop or other signs?

Thank you. Not a single thing, frankly it was a dog after exhaustive research on foxes no way could one have grabbed the 1yo drake, he was huge the distance traveled to great and the fact "whatever" it was led clear back to my neighbours across the river.

The ducks are all in the dog yard which is um, interesting to say the least.. I open my back door and there is a duck! We did have the yard partitioned but with the girls they just flew up & over to see what was on the other side. It's risky with the dogs in there, i know but they just aren't interested they have seen them on the other side of the fence forever and had many a duck fly in and toddle about the yard, honestly they are at less risk in here than out there...

Of coarse none of this will work long term, it's awful moving the birds.. they want out, they want in their barn.. i could go on but yeah, you get it

I need to sell off some birds and try and figure out some sort of fencing to go 'round their barn and to give them some room of their own without dogs as companions lol
