The journey into the abyss of no return

[Weldman]

It is possible they may not come back much.... these are Khaki Campbells right? They are among the more "laying" of the breeds of ducks. But, we usually figure at least 2-3 months from molting to back to laying on most chickens... so they may still come back to laying in another month... the trauma may affect them in delayed laying response also...
I don't know what would be the best advice on them... I think I would give them another month or so.... and hopefully no more traumatic upsets...
I figured you had covered the "no trespassing" sign thing... sometimes the simplest things can get overlooked... so I thought I would mention it...

Yes Khaki Campbell ducks and I appreciate it as we all miss something sometime that is so small. Though as the saying goes, "For want of the nail"
For want of a nail the shoe was lost.
For want of a shoe the horse was lost.
For want of a horse the rider was lost.
For want of a rider the message was lost.
For want of a message the battle was lost.
For want of a battle the kingdom was lost.
And all for the want of a horseshoe nail.

They will get an extra month, won't cull right away as I need them for bait "if" the drone is still around for the cameras to catch them or they get a new one since the last one is missing.

They don't go far, free ranging they only cover about 250' radius at most. Always within eyesight.
