HELP MY DUCKS ESCAPED

[Dynasty and Delta]

So yesterday at 1:00pm I decided to take my ducks to our neighborhood lake for some good exercise. They have been there before and the other ducks that would try to attack them I would scare off from shore. They would always jump put the water. But, due to the fact of hot temperatures the lake water level is low. So I thought it would he a problem for my ducks to get out.NOPE! With 3 flaps they were out of the water. So then I took them home only to return at 6:00pm. So after they swam for an hour and then I realized we should go home. But, they didn't want to come out of the water, they still wanted to swim and start fights with the native ducks. So all night I have tried every 2 hours or so to get them out via calling them, using a net, I put a wooden board off the shore which they can walk up to get on land, giving them food and I even jumped in once (which was illegal). I don't know what to do they still seem happy and fine floating. But, I am scared they will drown.Please help!

Update just about at 3 PM today I got both of my ducks back. I went out there and grabbed one of them when they weren't expecting and the other jumped out and followed. I put them in my car and I drove home with them. Now they're back at my house they've preened for about a few hours now because they were in the water for at least 15 hours. I am so I'm so glad they're back.

Please don't do that again. Not only could a predator killed them both but there are diseases that they can pick up from the poop and birds that are there. Why not just give them a kiddy pool to play in mine love their pools.

Ducks can easily out maneuver you on water, as they get older they will become less dependent and will escape.

THank goodness you got them back.

I think no more outings to the lake.

yours are pets and should remain on your property

Yes I agree with all these replies and I thank you all for yalls concerns. I will not take them back to the lake again and the only swim time they will get is in their kiddy pool.
