Is capturing ducks illegal? Noticed this bird on my parents boat cover today with some eggs. Want to get rid of it, anyone around Shreveport want to raise some ducks?

Damn if I had the slightest clue on how to trap and transport correctly and easily I would take that whole spread to my pond.

Let her hatch them, then transfer the the hen and ducklings. Do not disturb the nest.

So you wouldn't disturb the nest & keep your boat covered up until they hatch?

Not worried about moving the boat since its a ski boat and won't be used til may or June. Just don't want it to be full of bird poo and whatever else goes along with duck birth

If that duck is nesting on a boat cover I am sure that is a domestic tame duck. Not a wild duck so there is no laws against catching it because its a pet not migratory watrrfowl.

Call green jeans and they will properly move it for you.

We came home yesterday from a trip to town and as pulled into the driveway, a mallard hen came flying out of the flower bed about 10' from the front door. I checked it out and found she had built a cozy nest under some irises and hostas. Not likely she will stay with my truck parked about 10 ft away and the activity at the front door. This morning she and the drake were in the front yard.
Also have killdeer nesting next door. Fun to watch them act like they are at deaths door when you get within sight of the nest. We see a lot of great wildlife here. Saw a bald eagle yesterday land in a tree and eat a fish.

My dad has wild mallards nesting in his flower beds 20 feet from his front door.
