And if they do, to what extent? We have several ducks housed with our chickens, and they will NOT leave the coop/run area. They seem frightened of leaving the area, even though the chickens go out freely. I'd really like to get them out of the run area, as they're really mucking it up. We've taken them up to the pond several times, which is literally 60 feet away, and they flee in terror back to the runs.
They're happy in water, as we've got them a kiddie pool, so it's not a water fear issue. The pond has lots of cover, so plenty of places to hide if they needed to. I got a bunch of scaredy ducks!!
Suggestions? Ideas? I'm puzzled.
Thanks-
