I saw a cat COMPLETELY eviscerated and his whole body left intact. All my OBVIOUS hysteria aside, it was discovered to have been done by a coyote. I was devastated. This was an abandoned pet that we caught and had neutered because he was impregnating every cat in the neighborhood. He was a DARLING and charming kitty. I'm SO sorry to hear about your duck. Get a few hundred geese and NO one will be ALLOWED onto your property! My geese wouldn't let my ex-husband onto my front lawn. Sadly, I only had two of them and coyotes got one.!

I'm sorry to hear you lost your pet duck. 10 years is a really long life for a duck though, so it sounds like she had a good life. As for advice, I have answered most common questions here: http://spiralbound.net/2008/05/24/mallard-duck-faq Good luck and let me know how it goes. Sounds like a raccoon.

This is just a common white duck I am so sad we have had her for 10 years. She was with our chicks I really think she thought she was one. We raised her from a baby duck with chicks. We did find some holes chewed on the boards where we have created this chicken house. We have had this house for over 20 years. Please give some advice for raising ducks. I told my husband I would like to get another one probably not till next spring now.

This pool is for exercising arthritic joints. However I have 2-3 ducks (1-2 males and 1 female that like my pool, they swim, stay on the surrounding cement and lawn. The pool man, nor gardeners, nor the 5 visiting cats, nor the visiting families of opossoms, nor the visiting raccoon, seem to convince the ducks to leave. I really do love all kinds of animals and would never hurt them but I am concerned about swimming in a pool they have most likely pooped in. I asked the pool man if the chemicals he puts in my pool will clean up the pool so I can safely use it, but I am not sure he understands what I am saying. Any ideas or experiences?

If I were you, I'd be careful ... I certainly would not want to be the victim of mallard revenge that they must be plotting at this very moment out in that pond where you can't hear them quacking. Watch your back. ;-) I nearly fell out of my chair laughing when I got to the “nefarious black op mission” part.
