Hello! First time duck owner here...I currently have 2 Fawn Runners and 2 Blue Swedish ducklings in my brooder (along with 10 chicks). They will all be 5 weeks old on Sunday.
Anyways, the chicks are very curious of me and my hand and come running to me when I have treats. The ducklings, on the other hand, are just plain terrified when I even come near the brooder. We hold them occasionally but they are just huge and flail everywhere. We give them baths and we all sit and watch them while they swim and splash around....
Is this pretty normal? Will they calm down a bit when they are outside and have space to roam?
Thanks!!
