My ducks are getting food somewhere else. Anything I can do?

Yeah! And show my ducks their not the only guys on the pond!
It is really bothering me more and more that my ducks stay at that end of the lake, won't come when called anymore, and I can't see them. They come home at night, and occasionally come by for a treat, eat it and swim away. That's it! It's as if I have no ducks at all during the day.

That sounds really upsetting to me. I know how much you love them. My precious ducks would probably do that if they were in a similar environment, as well.

I feel really sad for you, because I would be if those were our ducks doing the same thing. How about getting a few girls to keep your Bad Boys at home? Wishing you the best of luck, maybe you need to lock them up at home for awhile? I would.

Thank you for your thoughts and understanding guys. I guess I have to expect that when you put them out on the lake and give them free range their going to do like ducks do.
Unfortunately I can't get any girls. And don't have room for the number I'd need. I had to rehome the 2 I had.
On a good note, it was a good day! They stayed home more today than they had been. So YAY! When I went down to sit with them and give some treats, one of them leaned over while I was talking to him and have me a smooch on the mouth with his dirty little bill!
Well, I think of it as a smooch even if he didn't . And then he said, don't touch me!
