Hi there, my ducks free range out on our lake during the day and come in at night.
For several weeks they haven't had any interest in come home at all during the day for food, even in the morning or at night. Once in a while I can call them home for salad. I've done worried about how they're getting enough food. And today I learned someone way down the lake is feeding them. I found out watching with binoculars.
Can I do anything like keep them in for a few days so they forget about the other food supply? Or will that not work?
If they were human teenagers I could ground them. They are 6 months old so I hope part of this is a hormonal stage that will pass. I never see my ducks during the day!
