Hey I have a question

[Cassidykassis_88]

My question is I have two full sized ducks and I’m gonna be taking them outside this weekend because we have been waiting for there coop but the problem is they don’t let me pick them up how do I get them outside and I can’t lead them because I would have to take them up stairs

Put em on a leash.

Why can’t you pick them up? Just curios. Maybe a ramp over the stairs if there aren’t a lot of them.

Ducks like to be herded, take a stick in each hand and hold them out, easy peasy.

Use a long stick, ducks have evolved to stick close to each other so herding them is usually a breeze.

Put em on a leash.

Most likely, they'd freak out if they were put out on a leash.

How exactly do I do that

Walk outside, look for a stick, grab it and pick it up, walk behind the ducks with the stick in a way to lead them into the coop.

Have you tried a towel when attempting to pick them up. I’m fortunate enough to only have to work really hard to catch three of them but then once I have then in my arms they go limp and play dead so it is super easy to carry them around! Ha The towel helps keep wings down so it is less of a hassle for you and if you drape it over their head so they can’t see what’s going on it typically takes the edge off.
