I've just got two yearling duck hens but they haven't been handled much. I'm not looking for a 'follow you around and cuddle' duck but something I might be able to occasionally pick up without breaking my nose. I've managed to just hold one for a few seconds without it spazzing so I think they might just be unsure about people. I can't remember the type of duck they are exactly but they have have white markings on the head, the other on the neck, and are various shades of cream/brown. They are supposed to be the 'best ducks for setting eggs'.
They were filthy so now they are in the bathtub to get clean (Can't WAIT to see THAT mess OTL )
They have to be cooped up inside for a weekish so they don't fly away and never come back. I'm hoping just feeding them and maybe picking them up occasionally while their inside will help?
