Or they can train you to let them into the house.....................

They're masters at training their humans...

Yes, if I wait too long, they go in the coop & wait for me to shut the door. Of course, they get peas at bedtime so they're more than willing!

That's adorable, Deb!!! Ever try putting them up early?

Yes, on some nights we actually go out and need to lock them up before we go. It's work, but they go.

ETA: LOL...thanks! That's Alfalfa. She's the one in my avatar.

Just don't put your other phumb near that bill!!! Yes, and no... They are all about schedules, so if you teach them early it works better... and don't change their schedule... mine free range on the yard and will go into the pen on their own most evenings... but they'd rather party in a pool all night long than go inside a duck house... and don't change their schedule... stragglers for the most part can be herded in or bribed with treats... but you'll always get 'those ones'... and don't change their schedule...

Oh, poo! We're gonna have to raise duckies. Ya'll keep poking fun at the stump. As soon as the scab clears...Phe Phantom Phumb will make his premier debut. Batman and Superman will cower in fear!

Yes, yes! You'll love duckies! I'm told they're easier than chickens & have more personality. They don't need to be routinely wormed and I believe they are a bit hardier.

I'm already skeered of Phe Phantom Phumb!!

What's a good beginner duck breed? I want smaller ducks.

Ravyn's Calls are adorable, but I also like the looks of Indian Runners.

Of course I don't have ducks, will probably never get ducks, I'm only speaking of what pictures I like on the internet. Not very helpful!

Well, after lots of research, I started in April of last year with 2 Pekins & 2 Rouens. They aren't considered "smaller" ducks, though, but I wasn't concerned with size. Pekins are full of personality. The Rouens are quieter, but a bit less friendly.

The calls might fit me better. Are the good natured?
