Abandoned ducks. Need help on how to catch them.

Can you go at night? They may stay by the bank but it’s unlikely. You could try to get raccoon trap and stay your distance and throw a little food by it (make sure you put extra food in there ahead of time) and wait for one to go in, and repeat the process. I did this with some of my neighbors feral gamefowl.

You could just throw food away from the water and chase them with help, ducks are easy to catch compared to other poultry.

I went last night and they stayed on the bank.

That is what I was thinking. Mostly so no one who might want to report you will see you though.

I was thinking that, but they might hide or be in the water.

Nigh might be a better idea then. But she said that they were coming straight for the duck food, and getting really close to her when she fed them. So even if they are hiding, she may be able to get them out with duck food.

That’s good, you should go at night then. That means they will be way easier to get and there’s probably not gonna be anyone there. Make sure you somebody is with you just in case.

This is a good plan!

Update time. I almost had them yesterday. They were within my reach when some lady runs over and scares them off because she wanted to feed them and was mad I wasn’t feeding the corn. I tried to explain to her what I was doing and she just started lecturing me on how I’m feeding them awful food and so on. I told her I owned Ducks and what I’m feeding them is perfectly acceptable. This lady wouldn’t listen. She kept scaring the ducks away who are literally starving any time they got close. So I moved away from her and she kept following me! I had to leave and come back at night. Just my kick a whole flock of wild mallards came by and convinced the ducks to sleep out on the water. So I haven’t had the best luck. I’ll try again later today and hopefully I’ll be able to get them.
