ducklings running from me

[teachao]

My ducklings(5 of them)Will follow me and will herd out the gate to the yard. But I have chase them and catch them to put them in the coop atnight. I am having knee surgery soon and will not be able to chase them. How do I get them to stop running from me so I can put them up at night? Thanks Anne

You might have to bribe them. I bribed mine in to the pen last night with fresh lettuce. OH! It is also easier to get them in the pen if there is some light in there. I bought 2 $4 solar powered lights at Walmart. I put one by the door and one by the feed bowl. I still have to herd the older ducks, but they resist less when they can see what's going on

It's pretty much implied extortion from the ducks

They do it to me all the time. Give me treats or else . . . quack quack
