    How to train adult ducks to stay near by???

    UPDATE! Hey! The ducks are doing great. I haven't yet managed to move them into the lake. Despite my best efforts(and believe me that is saying something) the ducks seem to believe that the lake is terrifying and won't go near it. In fact when I place them in the lake they all run back up...

    How to train adult ducks to stay near by???

    Hey guys! I just got couple of brand new ducks. They are all adults so I was hoping to introduce them to the big lake that will be their new home. I want them to know that my home is their home...you know, I don't want them wandering too far(there are other lakes and bayous around). Is there...
