Clip wings?

[jlh729]

New to ducks - do we need to clip the wings on our ducklings to keep them homebound? or do they just stick around through the winter because we feed them?

Welcome to BYC! What breed of duck are they?

2 Pekins and 4 Khaki Campbell (I think - cute smaller brown ducks).

Pekins can't fly, so no need to clip them. Do Khaki Campbells fly?

None that I've ever met can fly. I'd say that those bad boys (or girls) are home bound by genetic default.

The KCs May be able to flap off the ground a little bit but I have never seen mine get over a fence.
