Since ducks don't come in at night like chickens...what should I do about them?
We have a 6 line barbed wire fence on one side, rest is field fencing. There is a large pond a little ways into this horse neighbors yard, the one with the barbed fence. Then there is a creek running on the back and other side of our land. It's about 4.8 acres, btw.
Do you think the ducks will run off to the creek or pond? Will they come back to eat?
They are 3 Pekings, 3 Khaki and 3 Mallard[maybe], I'll have a kiddy pool for the ducks and a shelter if they want it. Though mine rarely use it other than for shade!
Any help would be great. I'm just not sure if I should sell them or make them a pen w/large cage. I'd rather free range them like the chickens...
