Here's a color photo of the 2 Swedish Blue ducklings (1 is a black runt cull). They sleep in the secure box adjacent to their tiny pond with their Game Fowl mother. This box was the nest box they were hatched in. I carried the nest box from the tractor shed about 150 ft away on the neighbors land to bring this little brood into a secure fenced yard compound. During the day the feral cats and skunks stay away but at night they roam freely and kill. Cats have eaten about 20 of my day old to week old keets and chicks in the last few weeks. Wild cats are a terrible problem here.
