We've always raised chickens, and this was our first foray into ducks (twelve). They stayed in our house from hatching until about 6 weeks, at which time we put them into their new duckhouse, with the hatch closed to get them used to their new "home." At week 7, we opened the hatch and let them wander outside and into the pond. During week 7:
Days 1 and 2: "Duck Rodeo" to put them in the house at night (comical!)
Days 3 through 6: We entered their enclosure, they saw us coming, and they all headed into the house.
Today (Day 7): We sat outside the enclosure enjoying some wine. The ducks began sleeping on the ground outside. We got up, said good night, and walked away heading for the house. They immediately all got up and went inside their house!
This is all going WAY to easy!!!!
