I've had Mallards before, but this is the first time for Welshies.
I taught my Mallards to "get on the bus" (meaning get into the cage for transport to the pool) and they got it right away.
My new Welshies, however, when I use the same technique, seem to be ah, well..., sorta, retarded.
I used a small dollar store broom as the indicator to move from one pen or cage to another. Mallards....no problem.
Welshies.........you'd think they were being attacked by Godzilla!
Any ideas? Or someone who has dealt with the "abnormal behavior" ?
