I have a question on changing duck houses. My ducklings have just gone out to their new outside house. It’s a large grass run with a house under cover that I can lock them up at night from predators. They LOVE the outside but refuse to go into the house. I have put them in there with thier favorite treats and they dash outside of it. It’s the same bedding, I even put in their stuffed an animal they had in the brooder. Funny, they always put them selfs to bed when in my office. I opened up the brooder to let them run around and by dusk they were in bed ready for me to shut the door. Now they squawk at dusk to be taken out of the new digs. I broke down and put their old brooder cage in a shed and carry them into it at night but I would love for them to go into the new house to sleep. Any suggestions on how to make them like it? The only difference between the 2 is the brooder was a wire dog crate and the new house is a wood duck house. I guess it’s different but not so much to absolutely hate it. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
