ducks

[suedagardener]

we have 1 muscogee duck who lays eggs and 2 runner ducks. They live with our laying hens and 1 pig.

our muscogee, lays eggs but they disapear, the next day (or quickly). Who eats them? no snakes so I'm confused!!!:/

Could be a possum, skunk or coon.

Can the pig get to them?

Are there any tracks you could look for around where the eggs are or where you keep your animals that might give you a clue into what could be eating them?

You could try and set up a camera. When my Dad was younger his eggs would vanish. He charged his video camera and put it outside to video the theif. It was a raccoon.

This time of year snakes really like the protein boost from eggs.

I'm betting snakes as well, I just pulled a pair of huge rat/chicken snakes out of the goose nest, and neither of the geese made a sound to indicate they were there. (They couldn't figure out how to get them big goose eggs crushed tho)
