Hello! I am on day 6 (and day 1) of my Pekin duck eggs. This is my first time incubating duck eggs! They are from our recently deceased male, Cinnamon and our recently deceased female, Maple . ...my story is in another thread that I started last week to do a hatch along ....but i posted it...

Yeah. Agree! 💯 We didn't think it was an owl either!! Until we spent all day investigating.....believe me ...it was not a raccoon. No evidence of one at all ...it was crazy!! It was like a vampire came and got our ducks..and I know that is what they say about Owls..that they leave No TRACE...

Hello! Been a while since I have posted or lurked here. Our beloved Pekin drake (Cinnamon) got nabbed the night before last by what we think was a great horned owl. We think its the only predator it could be that left the clues that it did that it could possible be. Anyways our female (Maple)...

Such an enjoyable read! So funny. So true. We are all a probably a bit little batty for our girls, (and Accidental Roos too!)

thank you so much for the reply. I know I am freaking. I am mostly because it is on a second floor, NOT on the ground actually. There is a ramp to go up, and she is up there right now. Day 17 tomorrow. ...Thanks again!!
