Here’s an interesting behavioural video showing how ducks try and stay safe against fox or dog attack by sitting in their raised pond when the pen door is inadvertently left open after dark.

Smart ducks!
Interesting. And the foxes can't walk around the edge of the pond? Or jump up high enough for the chickens? that is good to know as I am getting my first small flock of 5 started pullets and I know we have foxes around. I was hoping a 6 foot fence would work. Might have to electrify it.
Foxy not up for a midnight swim? Wadda Wimp!
Animals are interesting creatures, when you see how smart they really are!
That was interesting. I'm glad that fox didn't slip in while you were gone.
