I have to tell you that I don't know and am in the same boat you are. I feel sure we don't have turtles (yet, at least) as we have a new (and very small) pond, but we have had two of our ducks disappear without a trace. I've had other people in the area warn me about turtles, so I know that is a danger. I don't know if the raccoons have gotten ours or if they are just wandering off to the river, which is quite nearby. The difficult thing about free-ranging is that to give them freedom, they are also put at some risk. I can't stand to keep ducks and chickens confined, though. Hi, Terrie.

One duck disappeared several months ago - there was no sign of what happened. We lost another one last night, a female, and again cannot find a trace. The pond is full of turtles that are always hungry. I have seen the turtles sink a dead Canadian goose in less than 5 minutes. Could they be the culprit with our live ducks. Our neighbors are as fond of the ducks as we are and everyone enjoys them. I feel like should be doing something more to protect them. Thanks for any help you can give.

They are beautiful, but will live longer then you and 52 put together. Simple solution, get a glass swan. :D Someone said you needed a swan.
