Okay he's 3 days old.
I hatched him and everything and now he has this habbit of trying to peck at my eye and lips.
I like taking him out and holding him and just spending time with him.
But now its all he does. All day he climbs up my checst to peck at me!

It's getting annoying. He has food, water everything.

What can i do to stop this.
i know babys like shiny things but he squirms out of my hand and kicks untill he gets to my eyes or face.
 
Our duckling has pecked at me especially... it is like he is preening me. he got so excited to see me after we got back from a vacation that he left a mark on my neck.
 
haha sounds like our 4-day old "chuckie"-remember me? Thats all he does-chews my lips crawls up my chest and nestles in my nape hair! We had him swimming in our sink tonight diving for canned peas!! so so cute! it is annoying but that's how ducks are ..aren't they??
 
Grab him by the beak and tell him firmly, NO. My duck used to do that when he was young and learned not to. That's a very bad bad habit to pick up. He wont bite me no matter what though. And now hes a big two month old duck, and we spend quite a bit of time together. No biting though :)
It takes them a while but it will learn.
