    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Ahhhh, ok. Yeah I missed that. But they are cheap enough. I do have plastic chicken wire too (we fostered baby chickens for a short time). I might be able to build a makeshift one. I figured they would fly right out of the top, but I haven't seen them actually fly yet.

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Great idea! We have a big dog crate in the family that I can borrow. Maybe won't fit them all comfortably but it doesn't hurt to try it out. I'll line the bottom with straw too so they can be warm. And who knows... they might be used to having a "house" and go right in :) Thanks for all the...

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    @thumper650 mealworms are a great idea! I’ll grab some tomorrow. And yes, I am not set up yet to have ducks, but I do love them. I study sitting outside by the lake and they are my favorite source of happy breaks and procrastination :D

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Hi everyone! So i have some feelers out to see if I can find a forever home for them. In the meantime, I’m still taking care of them and keeping an eye on them. This has got me thinking though, what is the best way to catch them (without completely freaking them out)? I assume it will make...

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Just an update! Started making a few calls to animal control to see if they were reported as missing and can reunite with owners. They are posting some pictures so hopefully something comes out of that. But as of now they are happily napping with the other Mallards. I'll keep you guys posted!

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    I completely agree! I was surprised when they first showed up, because they were all very friendly and came right up to me. So they are for sure familiar with people. So the best option is to find them a home, our yard is too small to keep them in a pen. Best I can do is feed them and build a...

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Drakes are the boys right? There are four boys and one girl, so that makes sense. But glad to hear I wasn't crazy, they just looked so different!

    Domestic ducks (I think) found in lake

    Hello! First time poster here and looking for some advice from the experts. I live in suburban Massachusetts on a lake. We have a family of friendly Mallard ducks that hang out here. I'm guilty of feeding them (proper duck food, but still not the best idea... I know). About two weeks ago five...
