We have four muscovy ducks, 3 hens and one drake, and for the past two nights they have refused to go to bed...???!!!
I have built them a duck house and the drake seemed to bully the two younger hens at bedtime and so I've added a few months ago I aded a seperator in the house that made two rooms, which seemed to help...
However, the past two nights when I've gone to shoo them in (mostly they go in on their own), the drake is at the doorway and all three hens refuse to go in. Then with the resultant furore, the drake comes out of the house and I'm running round the house chasing four blimmin muscovy ducks in the dark... (STOP LAUGHING!!)
Any ideas? Do I need two houses??
