Crowing
Hey all. Currently worrying over this and just wanna know if I should do anything here.
We have a huge group of (wild) Muscovy ducks that frequent the area. Everyone around here feeds them so they're not really 'wild' anymore technically. 2 days ago one of the female Muscovies hatched out 10 tiny babies.
They're doing great, but with this upcoming hurricane I'm super worried about them. I was thinking of making a small shelter or something for them, but I'm afraid they won't use it or it will simply get destroyed.
I also don't want to catch them because it risks separating the mom+ babies (since she can fly away & they cannot). I also don't know the legality of it (if they're considered wild or domestic/etc). Should I just leave them be and hope mama figures something out? What would you guys do?
Thanks for any advice in advance!!
