Photo caught in the action. Allot of people don't know how destructive these Pukekos are. Ive seen them destroy so many ducklings, last year I counted a mother with 14 ducklings and 2 days later none from pukekos - they would round them up like hounds. I also found a baby pukeko a couple of years ago and it was probably only 2 days old, i put it in the brooder with 8 pekin ducklings that was the age/size all went well untill a week later the pukeko chick killed off all the ducklings. it must be their dark little killing instinct.
