The recent thread on ducks was quite informative to me who is looking to
acquire some. I have lots of space, no neighbours and a big dam. But
there
are predators (wild dogs, foxes, goannas and dingos). I have a very smart
and protective dog but he cannot be on duty all night every night. Is
there
any way of keeping ducks safe other than shutting them in at night?


What is wrong with shutting them in at night as the rest of us have to?
Ducks have no sense of fear or survival and will be at risk from any and all
of these
Domestics cannot fly [except female Muscovies]
