    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.

    I think simmer Pukeko with sauerkraut ( do `t if you can find in major supermarket, but sizable Chinese shop should have) may do better. I do `t have chance for this year, hope somebody may give it a try.
