Your pond may be housing snapping turtles which are deadly to ducks. I’ve seen one as big as a wheelbarrow around here in PA and took a chunk out of a machete knife like it was a piece of cake.

Aside from dredging the pond and then wire-mesh fencing it off which still may not solve the problem as birds can carry eggs on their feet, I can’t offer you much more. Occasionally fox or stray dogs will kill ducks too but usually you find some evidence.

What an adorable pet! I think you should bring her in to play in your bathtub at least once a week, let her use your best shampoo on her feathers, & bake her something special whenever she lets you put a hat on her. Does she have a name? She would sure be a beautiful calendar girl!!

That was adorable. From the front view, it looks like the donkey has on a beanie cap pulled down to his eyes because of his thick coat. The noise the cat made was my favorite. What a “good mood” video that was. It made me wish I was there visiting with them.

I thought you looked fine on camera. I really think you did a great job on your Sam-e video. I thought you narrated it beautifully and you looked very much at ease in your appearance in the end.

Off to vote – I am up way too late working tonight.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Awww, love that sweet little face under the bonnet! I’m thinking her name must be Lucky Duck.

Got my vote in today.

Poor ducky. We had two that lived in the chicken pen and would come out sometimes and walk around around the yard. Ducks are cool. And I adore the name Scarlett O Ducky. LOL

We’ve had the same issue this year, except with the chickens. Every couple of days, one would disappear. We went from 25 feathered friends to 10. Finally we made the tough decision to not let them free range anymore. They are all clearly furious and hate us with every feather in their fluffy little bums, but not a single loss since they have been cooped up in their run.

Tell little Miss Scarlett that she will have new friends to boss around come springtime. Until then she can help you draw out plans for a duck compound!!

I’ve voted every way possible today! Work on IE and Foxfire. Blackberry. Home on IE, Foxfire and Chrome and Foxfire and IE on hubbys computer. I’m thinking knocking on people’s doors on Thanksgiving to just “use their computer for a couple minutes” might be intrusive.

I believe it is the turtles as well, that is what happened to my bothers ducks on his pond. The turtles come up from underneath the water while the ducks are just lazily floating along, and grab them by the leg and pull them under and that’s it for the poor duck they are turtle food. I hate to say it but unless Miss Scarlett ( I like that name too ) stays away from the pond she will be next i am afraid…
