Baby Ducklings

[courtney18]

I got 4 ducklings for my birthday. I pet them and let them play in the water ( supervised) everyday. when i put them back in there pen they run from me. Is there any suggestions to get them to get used to me.. This is my first time owning ducks! thank you

Each duck is different!

Have you read this? If not, please do - it answers so many questions! And there is also a sticky on treats - ducklings need to have just a little bit of chick grit daily for a few days before getting anything but starter crumble.
