Are Ancona ducks good flyers?

[Ticalexander]

Hi I am thinking of getting 2 Ancona ducks to add to my flock of Pekins however I am worried they may end up flying away or might get lost in my yard... I have heard there flying ability is poor however I can’t figure out if that means they can still fly away from me... I want to be able to heard them up a trail from there coop like I do with my Pekins however I am worried that may not work if they can fly... or is there flying ability like Pekins where they can go a couple inches...

according to the breed description they are not particularly good flyers

I had Anconas for a couple years and I don't remember them flying at all.

I saw my smallest adult fly 5 or 6 feet high once, but most can barely get off the ground. My anconas have a 3 foot fence around their run and have never flown over it. they only fly when they are excited to be let out of their coop.

Their size verses their wings means they don’t fly.
