Don’t have a clue what I got myself into!! I did a favor for someone who bought ducklings and raised them until about 10 weeks old. They were looking for someone who would take the ducks that have a pond or lake so they could swim and start flying. Well, long story short... I still have the ducks hanging out... They have never flown. I am thinking they are Rouens. 3 males and 2 females. What the heck do I do with them come winter?? They see me and the follow me and now the new thing is they come up on our deck and peck at our sliding doors!! They are fun to watch !! I just don’t know how to care for them!! We have a barn with a stall so I am ok keeping them there during the winter nights but how about eggs?? What do I do with that situation?! I did a favor and now I am stuck with this situation!! I wouldn’t mind keeping them just need help on how to care for them during the Ohio winter!! Thanks!!
