Lately our seven ducks (down from the original ten) have been more stubborn about staying on the pond all night, and there's no budging them once the sun starts to go down. Sometimes I can lure them out of the pond with corn and then get between them and the water and herd them home, but this usually requires helpers. Generally, after a couple of nights on the pond, I'll find them in their duck house when I get home from work, waiting for their dinner. The oddest part of this new behavior is that they didn't do it in the summer when it was warm ... they're doing it now that ice is forming on the pond! I think maybe they think they're "guarding" their water ... lol. They were very upset the first morning they ran to the pond and it was frozen!Kwachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947544432313181778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-38224516030407454162008-11-25T23:10:00.000-06:002008-11-25T23:10:00.000-06:00So glad you are back.

I was beginning to get really worried. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thought of you when I ran across a soap at a little shop in Carpinteria (just down the highway a bit). They carried an amazing Bamboo Charcoal Soap that really is amazing. My skin feels so much "happier"<BR/><BR/>http://www.coastalsoapworks.com/index3f.htmlSantaBarbarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17159992968479023593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-38031829572075341362008-11-25T22:31:00.000-06:002008-11-25T22:31:00.000-06:00Does the duck pen have a top?

Owls will go inside, so will opossums and raccoons go over the top, but you probably would have caught them on the critter cam.<BR/>Years ago I lost ducks to barred owls who would sweep into the pen.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your ducks!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05286006224820770646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10013142.post-58013076577575206752008-11-25T22:08:00.000-06:002008-11-25T22:08:00.000-06:00Sorry to hear of your missing ducks.
