I have just bought this for my pekins. The picture is taken from the website I bought it from! not my garden I wish! lol They have no pen because they free range all day - I dont have a big garden.

I have ended up buying a duck house for mine - because they wont go up the ramp (I am using a chicken coop). But they do go to the coop and dusk - Your ducks just need to learn where home is Stick with them - I have had my ducks a week and well and truly in love
