Hi, I am new to this forum and to raising ducks. I have 4 ducks, a pekin, magpie, and 2 blue runners. They are All about 6-7weeks old now just got fully feathered and have been outside for about 3 weeks. They seem very nervous around me and other owners. when they were babies we held them everyday probably 3-4 times a day. Now i feed them every morning outside their coop so they will be excited to see me. When I am gardening I would like them to stay around and eat the slugs but they just run back to their coop. Also they quack a lot and run away from me when i pick them up. It is a challenge. I hope they will become more adventurous, but I am not sure:/. any tips?
