Ducks

[ruthiy]

I can't get my ducks back in coop they are getting so distraught should I just leave them

 

[Amiga]

Are they safe from predators and cold?

Can you give us background? New ducks? New coop? Did they recently have trauma?

Generally, putting treats in the coop, and getting behind them (sometimes with a stick to make your arms look longer - not for hitting) and walking them in works.

They have been going in fine until 5 days ago wouldn't come out. I've actually caught them now and they're in safe gonna keep them in house with a run until they feel safe again

 

[Amiga]

Good.

Please take a look around. They can know there is danger before we realize what's going on. Sometimes borrowing a game camera reveals some real surprises snooping around the coop at night.

Horrible thought but very true that's why I caught them adding a run today

 

[buff goose guy]

just a heads up the run is gonna get so muddy

so glad that you caught them and they are safe now

 

[ruthiy]

No mud all straw once settled they can walk out again

 

[ruthiy]

Still not eaten or drunk anything

 

[ruthiy]

The food and drink is in the new run but they won't come out their house should I just leave and wait or put it in house

 

[buff goose guy]

wait
