how to train ducks to new feed spot quickly?

[MartynM]

my feed area was over grass with my ducks feed and water bowl, their pond is in a different area, and i had to move their feed cause where the grass was turned to mud and i was worried for mites on my chickens feet so i had to move the feed to this concrete area and the chickens went there and ate straight away but my ducks didnt they r still at the old feed area and im wondering how to get them to know new feed is here

Perhaps lead them there with treats.
Like leading a bird with a trail of bread crumbs.

You could move the feed gradually: start with it just a few feet away from the old spot, then the next day have it a few more feet over, and so on. Each day, they can stand at the previous spot and see the next place.

(This is a very slow method. I would only try it if faster methods do not work.)

When I switched to a new feeder recently, I tossed some food on the ground around the new feeder. My ducks are use to me sometimes tossing good things on the ground. That peaked their interest and as the more curious ones didn't die from the feeder, the cautious ones then deemed it safe to eat from.
