We lost Clancy, Roz in our ducks and Bonnie & Clyde our two silky bantams over night to a fox.

I should have had them lock away……but I didn’t.

All our original ducks are gone now.

Couple of the young ducks look like they have been attacked.

I feel so awful about it……..if only

So trying not to cry.

Buried the bodies where we’re going to plant passion fruit vines this spring.

Oh no!
Really sorry to hear this Lucky :( :(

It’s odd, I was walking past 3 rotting fox corpses last week, and I thought “Lucky hasn’t mentioned foxes for a while”…

Oh Lucky, this is so sad…both Clancy and Banjo…nothing to say really except I feel for you right now…

Bluddy ‘ell! That’s terrible Lucky. So they just killed them for the sake of killing, I assume? It’ll be hard for you knowing how much you love your gang.

So how many ducks are you left with now? I have such a soft spot for ducks. Like them better than chooks even. The only reason we don’t have some of our own is because we are away a lot.

Hope you catch it, Lucky. I’m an animal lover from way back but I’ve learned to hate foxes in Oz.
