Hello,
I have 4 ducks that I purchased for their egg laying abilities, and because I was under the impression that they wouldn't be able to fly over a privacy fence because they are a bit heavier than wild ducks. I have a Welsh Harlequin, 2 Buffs, and 1 White Layer. They are all pretty good-sized ducks, except the smaller Welsh, but they have all managed to fly out of my yard and into the woods on the church property behind my house. The white layer once by herself, and all 4 yesterday. There is a busy road that runs along the church property, plus my neighbors don't know about them, so this is not going to work. I've read about clipping a wing and watched some videos. It freaks me out, honestly. Mainly because mine are not very tame and don't let me hold them. Is this going to be possible for me to do today? Is it possible to do alone? AHHHHHH. So worried.
