My girls have a wild "friend"

[Pekinmomma]

A few days ago, my 2 pekins (1year old) and my 2 khakis (almost 3 months old) all female, roaming the yard when I heard them whacking loudly and running for their own. Yesterday I heard the same thing but only the khakis ran away. Each time I found nothing in the yard, no footprints in the mud and no idea what they were upset about. Well, today I seen it. A beautiful drake making a booty call to my yard with my poor pekin. So my question is...how to scare away a wild duck without terrifying mine? Luckily he scares away very easily with the sight of me at the doorway, but I don't know what to do. Anyone have any ideas? I really don' want to lock them in their cage all day and would appreciate any help.

Lock them up it's a Drake without a partner this year so he will attack and breed your Ducks. I have the exact thing happening her each morning till my Dogs are outside...

Wow. I will do that unless my dog is out there too. Didn't think of the dog as deterring the drake...good idea! Thanks!
