i told debbie we will set up a trap tonight my father inlaw said he is thinking owl.i am thinking the ducks may have run off an are hiding in the woods we live on 42 achers an are hoping they may show back up.if they dont we will have to sell her lone duck pretty sure it's a girl but they do better with friends.if we trap something i will post a pic before i rehome it to the cemetary.

I am so sorry. I just went out to my coop to find a enormous snake with two big bulges in it. It had eaten 2 of my 3 week old chicks and in the process must have scared two more to death!!! I lost 4 chicks in 6 hours!!! Of course it ate the pullets i bought, not the unsexed ones that are roosters for sure! I hope you find your predator. I have declared war on all neighborhood cats and dogs. I am usually against killing animals, but after 3 years of losing alot of awesome bird to other animals, it is WAR!
