Will my layer and crested white ducks survive Ian???

Just read this entire thread. It is like a roller coaster of ups and downs when read all at once! Hahaha!

Glad they are ok!

Yes - by morning the storm hadn't gotten too close yet and they were hungry again so they wandered into my yard - easy peasy...
So the pond is overfull.
I'm about to put them back out - storm well passed now.Should I be concerned about the flooding. They're ducks - I suppose they'll be fine!

As long as they have a dry place to get to with cover from aerial predators, AND as long as there won't be any strong current from the water receding then they should be good to go now....Glad everyone, your family and ducks included made it through safely.

Thanks! It's a fairly static pond and there are plenty of bushes. Still - you never know - ducks are fairly vulnerable. They live the happy life of very lucky ducks, but the cost of that is the risk of being on the bottom of the food chain.
