Re: More on ducks

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?

In a word, no. I had some of mine killed by a neighbours dog who
climbed a 4 ft fence to get them. Foxes are far worse. They really
do need to be locked up at night but they take to it well.
