I’ve seen lots of videos and photos of people holding their ducklings, hand feeding them, walking around with their ducklings just following right along. I’m so jealous. My 4 week old ducklings run in the opposite direction like I’m the scariest thing they’ve ever seen. Ever since we got them, when they were just a few days old, I’ve tried to pet them, pick them up to hold them, and just spent time hanging out around them so that they will get used to me.....but nothing gives. As long as I keep my distance they’re fine, but as soon as I get within a few feet away of them, they dart and run towards the furthest corner they can find. When I pick them up, they squeal and fidget and carry on and yell for the other. What am I doing wrong? I just want them to like me. Can we be friends?!? LOL
