Hi everyone.
This morning i woke up and half my ducks were missing. Found one
dead in the shed looks like it has been bitten on the back of the
neck. There was feathers in the shed. The side door was little
bit rotten and looks like something have scratched and broke it
open. Found 12 out of the 24 outside this morning and the other
11 were missing without a trace. I was thinking it could be a fox
but there is no feathers anywhere and the duck i found the bite
wound was not that big. Please someone help me so no more of my
lovely birds get hurt :)

Really sorry about that DM. I think I have already told you about
the problems I have had with fox attacks kate in the summer. It
took everything I had. Strange they have dissapeared without trace
though. When mine were taken I never found any carcasses but
feathers were everywhere.

Probably a stoat. Unfortunately will come back if your ducks were
laying. Can you lay a trap?
