I have a magpie, maybe 5 weeks old, and 3 ducklings, that's 2 weeks old. Since day 1, the ducklings have always followed/copied the magpie. I recently started letting them roam a bit, training them for free range but the last few days the magpie refuses to stay with the ducklings and WILL NOT get into the pool although it use to love it. Also when I put them back in their pen the ducklings come running but the magpie acts like its scared to come near me. I had the magpie first and it used to eat out of my hand, follow me around and go into the pen as soon as I put food in. It also doesnt seem as active as the ducklings. It finds a shady spot and stays there.
