    Scared duckling

    Awh. A lot ot swedish ducks are skiddish when it comes to human contact, the only way you could reform the bond is to maybe treat him/her and spend lots of time comforting them :) make sure not to force it on the duckling though otherwise itll associate you with fear and horrible stuff :P :)

    Dog Kennel as runner duck house

    Im not sure about the spacing. If the ducks are crammed in the kennel it wont be good for them, they need at least some space. Also plastic isnt a good idea, especially if there are foxes in your area, theyll easily bite through it
