Ok more duck stories. I put the 13 duckling out with the hens and moved the four drakes together. Hocus, Pocus and the Count are all teaming up on the Duke. Hocus was his best buddy, they never fought, but now that Pocus and the count are beating him up its a free for all. They've plucked about half his feathers. I put him in a dog crate for the night so he can get food and water, Pocus and the Count are trying to tear up the crate to get to him. They are the two drakes savaged by dogs and have been convelesing together. But I didn't expect his friend to join in. I don't have anyplace to put him except in with the ducklings and they are way too little for a drake. I have a single baby screaming its head off. Escaping the broader and running around the kitchen. My eggs have been shadowing for two gays but no pips. Starting to worry about them. And to top it all off my cat killed A rabbit under the back porch yesterday and its starting to smell. Cat kills rabbits and squirrels but pays no attention to the ducklings.

Poor Duke, he can't catch a break. Do you have something you could devide the biys pen into 2? My ducks don't seem to be able to get over a foot high barrier, but I dunno about determined drakes. Hocus may be okay with him if seperated from other 2
 
Where could they be??? Surely predators didn't get them all.
I wouldn't think so. Foxes don't tend to go far with a meal, wild dogs would have torn them to pieces on the spot ( though no dog sightings in 12 months) hawks hadn't touched them in the whole time they've been out... pigs? Surely we'd have seen pigs! They were a wild bunch of ducks thiugh... so maybe they did take off to the creek
