I’m having the worst luck with raising ducks. I was down to two runner, a drake and a female. She laid twelve eggs and sat on them for weeks, being such a great brooder, but NONE hatched. Then, yesterday the pair went missing. I walked miles calling them with no luck. Then my dog start barking in a tone I had never heard before. I looked where she was barking and saw something big and brown (maybe a bear, people say they have seen them) jump and one of my runners fly up. I ran out there, the female came running. So it got the drake. The female has honked every since. She is so lonely. Does anyone know of anyone who has adult ducks in East Texas that would be willing to part with (one or two)?
