How can you get ducks to stay in and around a pond?
Ours keep following us home after we place them in the pond and the wife wants sme to get ride of them this weekend.
They keep eating her plants.

They are 20 weeks old.
Breeders had discovered a simpler way to sort chicks: "feather" sexing. They had noticed that the wings on some female chicks were longer than those on males.
