I have thought about buying some mallards to put in the pond to see if they will hang around then if they do maybe I will release 1 pair of the Mandarins(nonbreeding) to see if they also stay. Got to do something since DH won't build me a bigger cage and I now have 6 of them and they will be breeding again in April lol. I have tried to give away a couple and they say the same thing I do. I would have to shoot dogs running loose for killing my ducks. Living in the country everyone leaves their dogs running loose and they all like to come through my 4 1/2 acres for some reason. Mine little dogs have a fit. Have had Deer dogs laying beside my duck cage. They think it is their kennel lol. They have never tried to harm my ducks. I feed them and call the owners. Think today is last day of seer season yea!!!! now they will come back to feed on the corn by my pond
