Welcome to BYC! I'm glad you joined us! Sorry about your losses

Hi, welcome to BYC! was there any evidence left behind such as tracks, hair or scat? It sounds like racoon but if your pens and runs are fortified correctly, it couldn't be a coon. pleased to meet you and thanks for joining us. Sorry for your loss.

Nope no evidence left behind, just the duck. And thank you, they were my babies.

Glad to meet you, William. So sorry about the loss of your ducks, that is just so sad. Best wishes protecting your other birds! Improving security might work better than just trapping. Whatever you trap is likely to be replaced in short order by a younger version.

Thank you! And we have fixed our Chicken coop with hardware cloth. We unfortunately don’t have ducks anymore but are working on fixing that coop incase I decide to get more. We haven’t had any issues since our last duck, my husband really thinks the second one died on its own before the predator got to it. Donald was extremely lonely after loosing daisy and just wasn’t himself.
