Is it the same duck or one of the baby ducklings now all grown up coming back to where she was born, an area she remembers as safe (except for the grates and the lack of food and water)?
We had a bunny recurrance. Last year, a pregger bunny made a burrow into my wife's garden bed -- a structure made of wood in the middle of an asphalt plain. We had six cute lil' bunnies running around, determined not to be evicted.
Before the planting season this spring, we found another burrow with baby bunnies. We never saw them hopping around this time. The wife found the burrow while the newborns were about six to eight days old. There was a layer of three bunny babies. There probably were six to eight total in there. A few weeks later, we checked on them and they had left.
Now we use dried blood in our fertilizer mix. Rabbits don't like the smell and our veggies like the nitrogen.
