now my duck follows me but has a distance like a bout 1 1/2 meters away when i turn around he stop and when i get close to him he walks away. is this a good sign?

It's better than your duck not following you at all. Keep up what ever you are doing and maybe you will be able to get closer.

Is it possible that i bought other ducks thats why he stop following me? because before he was just alone and would follow me after i bought some ducks he stopped and never followed me again.

 

[featherfinder]

Could be becuase now he spends more time with the other ducks. My 2 were raised together and they would always follow me around peeping their heads off trying to find me! lol But once they were full grown they stopped. The only time they follow me now is if its bath time or i have treats. Or to run to me when something scares them.

will it follow me again if i have treats always and then stop giving treats?

 

[featherfinder]

Maybe. Mine follow me anytime they think i have treats. Or am eating. Like last night I started making dinner and they came running into the kitchen quacking and anytime i moved they would follow. Even if it was to walk down the hall because they thought i had treats. They are little beggers and know the peas are in the freezer lol. so everytime i go in the kitchen they think they are getting peas.

will they follow you without treats or does following only apply to ducklings

 

[featherfinder]

Yes they will follow me with out treats but only when they want to and/or if they "think" I have treats.
