== == A fox will eat a duck if it can catch it. Try Fencing in your yard if you have animals falling victim to a fox or catch the fox in a live trap and dump him somewhere several miles away from your property. Adult ducks, however, I find very unlikely prey. They can fly and swim which make them very difficult to catch.

Foxes will go after eggs though. If you're raising ducks, and a fencing in your whole property is not an option, try putting a nestbox on a small "island" in the center of your pond (you can find instructions online) or keep your pregnant ducks in a pen. Keep the babies in the pen until they're old enough to fly and escape predators. Keeping a top on the pen is preferable so hawks and owls can't reach the babies. Any of those options will prevent you from having to kill the fox and should protect your pets.

Would a fox take a duck in the day?

Yes. I had my two ducks taken in daylight by a fox, just this week and just an hour, I heard my female ducks quaking really loud and went to the back door and there it stood,by the pond, watching my ducks in the water. If my ducks wouldn't have beenin the water, I would be missing more of my ducks.
