    Either that or take their frustrations out on each other.

    The Quack Shack

    If you have a huge pen and places where they can get away from each other a bachelor flock might work. I never knew when I used to let my Mallard hatch out her babies that the hen is what determines the sex of the babies. She had 35 ducklings over the years and out of all of them 2 were hens...

    The Quack Shack

    What happened to me when I did that was my huge Muscovy drake tried to mate my Mallard drake so I ended up getting rid of both of them. I felt bad for the Mallard drake and could not stop the Muscovy from trying to mate him all day.

    My rapey drakes started in March here, they are still going strong too. They won't want to quit until around October or November and even then will still act out every once in a while, just not as bad. I am lucky they are all small so that my girls do not really get hurt by them. My Hens...

    I have heard of people having wild ones get in their pools. Hopefully they will not get in yours. They can make quite the mess, lol.

    Thanks for the information, I appreciated it. I am going to wait until my two young Calls are 5 months old to be on the safe side.

    Good luck with yours Frank. I haven't caught anything yet and maybe there is nothing lurking around but I got one just in case. I used sardines too and didn't think I would ever get the smell off of my hands. Next time I will use gloves, lol

    The Quack Shack

    I should have looked at your pictures again. Mine is laying flat on the ground. I never knew you stick them actually in the ground. I must sound really goofy, sorry, I have never seen or used anything like this before. I am going to go out and redo it.

    The Quack Shack

    I bought one of those traps and set it yesterday. I was not sure if you put the food down inside the hole of the trap itself? That is where I put mine. I am hoping not to get any of the neighborhood cats. Sorry, I did not have it set right, after looking at your pictures I see where I went...

    The Quack Shack

    At what age did you put your female Calls in with your males? I have two born the end of April and I was not sure if they would be safe at 3 months or if I should go ahead and wait until 4 or 5 months. They are fully grown and so interested in joining the rest of the flock. I just don't want...

    What did you use for bait? I am so glad that you caught it!!!

    The Quack Shack

    Wow, you really had an infestation of those varmits Frank. I am so glad that you caught that many. We got three the year that they got two of my ducks before I invested in all of my metal pens. So far so good but I will not brag as that's usually when things seem to happen. Good luck with...

    The Quack Shack

    I I don't think ducks can tell the difference between a family's pet or a trash panda until it is too late. That would be my guess. I am just wondering why they are coming out before it is dark! Here they used to only come out in the night unless they were sick but now it seems that they are...

    So sorry to hear this Frank. Those Trash Pandas are absolutely terrible. I am surprised that your flock does not stay on the pond while you are gone, that way they would be safer. I hope you are able to trap or shoot them soon. Good luck.

    I totally understand that Frank. So sorry that the trash pandas are out even in the daytime. Here they mostly stay gone until night hours.

    Oh No Frank, that bite can be serious!!! I pray that you get checked out, they can carry rabies. I am so sorry that you got bit. They are vicious!!! A gun or poison or a trap is the only way to deter them. With poison you have to worry about your ducks getting into it but some people do...
